Trump and Vance served notice of new criminal charge for creating 'panic' in Springfield

On Thursday morning, an attorney representing the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, announced on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that he will be requesting another criminal charge be filed against Donald Trump and his presidential running mate J.D. Vance.

Speaking with co-host Mika Brzezinski, civil rights attorney Subodh Chandra was first asked about the criminal charges an Ohio law allowed his Chandra Law Firm to file against the two Republican standard bearers on behalf of the Haitian Bridge Alliance.

Those charges stem from fraudulent and inflammatory comments made by Trump and Vance which have thrown the town of Springfield into turmoil.

The earlier charges stem from "... the devastating harm of Trump's and Vance's baseless fearmongering that legal Haitian immigrants to the Ohio town are eating their neighbor's pets."

The earlier filing called for the "immediate arrest" of Trump and Vance on charges of disrupting public service, making false alarms, committing aggravated menacing, and violating the prohibition against complicity.

Speaking with host Brzezsinki, on Thursday, Chandra broke the news that the filing will be amended to include an additional charge.

"Ohio is among some states in the country that permit private citizens to file charges in the form of a sworn affidavit in a court and ask the court to review those charges, affirm whether there's probable cause and either issue arrest warrants or then refer the matter to a prosecutor for further handling and investigation," he explained.

He then announced, "I should add to those that today or tomorrow we plan to amending the charges to include inducing panic. The proof is set forth in the affidavit, the proof has been there for the world to see in terms of the statements made by Trump and Vance on social media, on video captured in interviews and the effect of that on Springfield, not just the Haitian population."
