Video of the former president telling the Proud Boys to 'stand back and stand by' can be used by prosecutors in a trial of leaders of the far-right group.
On the Wednesday edition of his YouTube show, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner noted that the judge who made the decision, Timothy Kelly, was appointed by Trump.
Kirschner added that allowing Trump's statement about the Proud Boys as admissible evidence was an"important trial ruling" in the trial of Proud Boys leaders.
"Proud Boys, stand back and stand by," Trump replied."But I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. Somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left, because this is not a right-wing problem."whether Kelly's ruling could be used as evidence against Trump. "That [Trump's debate comment] was a signal for them [the Proud Boys] that began some of their recruiting but was a unifying cause, that was part of their conspiracy, and what prosecutors have to prove is an agreement to do this attack," McQuade said.
