President Trump Meets Rittenhouse at Mar-a-Lago, Calls Him ‘Nice Young Man’ Who Endured 'Prosecutorial Misconduct'

Former President Donald Trump described Kyle Rittenhouse as a “nice young man” who endured “prosecutorial misconduct” after having met with him.

The meeting happened at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, and Fox News host Sean Hannity showed a photo at the tail-end of an interview with the former President that aired Tuesday evening. Rittenhouse, whose actions last summer got mixed into the 2020 election discussion, made headlines earlier this week after putting President Joe Biden on notice for what he views as defamation.

“He came over with his mother,” Trump said. “Really a nice young man, and what he went through, that was prosecutorial misconduct. He should not have had to suffer through a trial like that.”
