Former President Donald Trump is beginning to hold rallies and conduct interviews with right-wing media, getting attention primarily with his base.

In those rallies and interviews, he is calling for pardons for those arrested in the Jan. 6 violence to stop the electoral vote. He is calling for protests in the streets if the various prosecutors investigating him and his businesses are found to be doing “anything illegal.”

I’m not sure what the former president is referring to when he says “illegal” in that context…
