Washington, DC — Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says if there are demonstrations Tuesday related to the anticipated arrest of former President Donald Trump, he hopes things don’t get out of hand.
The Former President has called on his supporters to protest if he’s indicted on charges related to alleged hush money payments to an adult film actress in 2016.
Video is being released by the US Department of Justice that reportedly shows Grassley being evacuated from the Capitol on January 6th as shouting demonstrators were close by.
Justice officials say the video was shot by one of the rioters and it shows Grassley, surrounded by uniformed police officers, as he was rushed through the Capitol building and away to safety.
At the time of the riot, Grassley was serving as president pro-tem of the Senate, which placed him third in the line of succession to the presidency.
