WATCH LIVE: Trump holds first 2024 campaign rally in Texas as indictment fears loom.
Trump will address supporters at the Waco Regional Airport at 6 p.m. EST on Saturday, seeking to establish Texas as"Trump country" early on in the primary season before the GOP field gets too crowded. Trump's campaign highlighted polling numbers coming out of the Lone Star state over the last few months that show Trump overcoming an early lead by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in January to lead the field by 16 points in March.
The campaign event comes as Trump faces a possible indictment as soon as next week. If pressed with charges, it would mark the first time a former president has been indicted in U.S. history. It is not yet clear what charges Trump may face, but reports of a possible indictment emerged earlier this month after his former attorney Michael Cohen testified before the Manhattan grand jury.
Manhattan prosecutors later opened an investigation into whether Trump falsified business records to list the reimbursement as a legal expense. Such a crime is a misdemeanor in New York but could be increased to a felony if Bragg's office argues the fraud was intended to conceal a second crime.
