“I’M BACK!” Trump wrote in the post, which included a short CNN clip of him from the night he was elected president during which he said: “Sorry to keep you waiting. Complicated business. Complicated.”
The former president’s Facebook and Instagram accounts had been banned for two years following the Capitol riot. They were restored early last month after the Trump’s 2024 campaign asked Meta, the platforms’ parent company, to unblock his Facebook account.
Trump’s posts on January 6, 2021, included election lies and an attack on then-Vice President Mike Pence, before calling on rioters to be peaceful. The House select committee that investigated January 6 used several of the former president’s social media posts from that day to show his inaction as the violence unfolded.
Though Twitter was Trump’s preferred messaging platform in previous elections, he has massive reach on Facebook and Instagram – 34 million followers and 23 million followers, respectively. Trump’s campaign staffers have been eager for the former president to reengage on Facebook because doing so would help them access an enormous field of potential donors.
YouTube on Friday also said it was restoring Trump’s account, allowing him to upload new videos. “Starting today, the Donald J. Trump channel is no longer restricted and can upload new content. We carefully evaluated the continued risk of real-world violence, while balancing the chance for voters to hear equally from major national candidates in the run up to an election,” YouTube said on Twitter.
“下周被捕”
除了重返上述社交媒体平台,特朗普近来动作不断。
当地时间周六,他在Truth Social上发文,称自己“将于下周被逮捕”。
Trump suggested on Saturday that he will be arrested next week.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is reportedly investigating whether Trump falsified business records in connection with an alleged hush-money payment made to an adult film star during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, wrote that "illegal leaks" from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office indicate that he "will be arrested on Tuesday of next week."
在帖子的最后,他还号召支持者“抗议,夺回我们的国家”。
"Take our nation back," Trump added, issuing a call for his supporters to protest.
In an internal email following Trump’s statements, District Attorney Alvin Bragg said law enforcement would ensure that the 1,600 people who work in his office would remain safe, and that “any specific or credible threats” would be investigated. “We do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York,” he wrote.
Kirby addressed the situation during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," saying he wasn’t aware of any potential violence related to the former president’s call for protests. "We're always monitoring the situation here as best we can," Kirby said.
