On Saturday — two days after a grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump, securing his place in history as the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges — a small group of supporters gathered in Orange County, California, to protest the indictment.
During the gathering near the Huntington Beach Pier on Saturday afternoon, the group of roughly 40 people flew “Make America Great Again” flags and chanted “God bless Trump!” At one point, two demonstrators were hit on their heads with skateboards during a clash.
Because the indictment remains sealed, the precise criminal charges aren’t yet clear, but the investigation presented to the grand jury in New York focused on Trump’s alleged role in a scheme to pay hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the final push of his 2016 campaign.
