Trump says Rittenhouse visited him at Mar-a-Lago





Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Kyle Rittenhouse visited him in Mar-a-Lago after the 18-year-old was found not guilty of shooting and killing two men, and wounding a third, during an intense racial justice protest in Kenosha, Wis.

“Really a nice young man. What he went through — he should’ve, that was prosecutorial misconduct. He should not have had to suffer through a trial for that. He was going to be dead.




If he didn’t pull that trigger, that guy that put the gun to his head, in one quarter of a second, he was going to pull the trigger — Kyle would’ve been dead,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, who showed a picture of Rittenhouse with the former president.

“Just left Mar-a-Lago a little while ago and he should never have been put through that. That was prosecutorial misconduct, and it’s happening all over the United States right now with the Democrats.”
Trump’s hour-long interview followed Tucker Carlson’s Monday night interview with Rittenhouse post-trial.




A Wisconsin jury acquitted Rittenhouse last week. In August 2020, the teen was armed with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle and argued he was acting in self-defense and was in town to protect property and provide medical assistance amid unrest in Kenosha. The protests were ignited by the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by a white police officer.
