Charges in that case have not yet been announced but may increase Trump\u2019s legal woes.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks in Nevada weren\u2019t the only time that Trump suggested there could be a crisis if a president were under an indictment. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>He also <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p-CuQGDneyY&amp;t=451s\">made similar remarks<\/a> at a rally Nov. 3, 2016, in Concord, N.C., CNN\u2019s KFILE found.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf she were to win, it would create an unprecedented Constitutional crisis that would cripple the operations of our government,\u201d he said. \u201cShe is likely to be under investigation for many years, and also it will probably end up \u2014 in my opinion \u2014 in a criminal trial.
