Former President Donald Trump told Fox News that his aides reached out to the Department of Justice to offer “whatever we can do to help,” saying the “temperature has to be brought down.”
Said Trump: “People are so angry at what is taking place. Whatever we can do to help — because the temperature has to be brought down in the country.”
He added: “If it isn’t, terrible things are going to happen.”
