Maxine Waters On Ex-President's Trial Delay: 'Trump Can't Run. Trump Can't Hide. He Will Be Imprisoned With Ivanka By His Side!'

 U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) recently tweeted her reassurance that former President Donald Trump cannot evade the law, amid concerns over the extension of his trial date.

What Happened: On Wednesday, Waters took to Twitter to express her confidence in the legal process surrounding Trump’s ongoing trial. “Many are worried that the Judge has extended Trump's trial date. Not to worry! TRUMP CAN'T RUN. TRUMP CAN'T HIDE. He will be imprisoned with Ivanka by his side!” she wrote.

This tweet comes in the context of Trump’s indictment related to his alleged involvement in the January 6 insurrection, leading to public calls for his trial by Waters and others. Waters has consistently vocalized her disapproval of Trump’s conduct during his presidency, advocating for his impeachment early on.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, Waters emphasized on the importance of public trials, stating that they are crucial for democracy, particularly in light of the charges against Trump. She underlined that the truth about Trump’s “lies, bullying, distortions, threats” had been revealed in the indictment, and his trials should be made public.

Waters’ recent tweet resonates with her previous calls for accountability and her criticism of Trump’s conduct. This comes amid reports of Trump’s request for a delay in his trial regarding the handling of classified documents at his Mar-A-Lago residence.
