Prominent faces in Donald Trump’s courtroom entourage this week included Chuck Zito (former president of an outlaw motorcycle gang who did six years in prison on drug trafficking charges) and Bernard Kerik (a former NYPD commissioner who served more than three years for tax fraud and other charges) were among the supporters of the former president with him on Monday at his criminal trial in New York.
During Trump's rally in the Bronx on Thursday sought to bolster and highlight his support among Black and Hispanic voters. Trump called upon two hip-hop artists who have been accused of participating in violent gang warfare fueled in part by their music.
The rappers, Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, were among several guests invited to voice their support for Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. After they did so, Mr. Trump expressed his gratitude, and then complimented Sheff G’s glittering jewel-encrusted grill. “I like those teeth. I want to find out where you did — I got to get my teeth like that,” he said. “I want that to happen to me.”
But Mr. Trump — who earlier in his speech had vowed to restore the rule of law in New York City, denounced urban crime and touted his allegiance to the police — did not address the charges the two men are facing: counts of conspiracy to commit murder and weapons possession.
