Maxine Waters: DOJ must explain plan to prevent violence if Trump loses election

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., called on the Department of Justice to explain its plan to prevent violence if President Biden loses to former President Trump in the November election.

"We have to know what our country is going to do to protect us from him," Waters said Sunday on MSNBC. "I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I’m going to ask the Justice Department, and I am going to ask the president to tell us what they are going to do to protect this country against violence if he loses."

She said right-wing groups are likely "training up in the hills somewhere and targeting what communities they are going to attack" and carry out violence if Biden defeats Trump.

In the same segment on MSNBC, Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., argued that "there is no doubt he [Trump] will try to stay in office beyond his four year term."
