Trump's message to Justice Department 'The country is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat?'

[Demovictory9]

Before Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday made his first public statement on the raid, a person close to Trump reached out to a Justice Department official to pass along a message from the former president, according to The New York Times.

'The country is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat?' was the message Trump wanted portrayed, according to a person familiar with the exchange.

7. No way in hell Trump communicated that message. Maybe one of his crack lawyers did it in an attempt

to save his sorry ass, but Trump is loving every second of this. He wallows in victimhood (and raises money off it).
