A defiant Donald Trump, who is staring down a possible indictment, is hoping to put on a show of force on Saturday as he holds the first rally of his 2024 presidential campaign in a city made famous by deadly resistance against law enforcement.

The former US president will gather with supporters at an airport in Waco, where the 30th anniversary of the massacre in the Texas town will marked next month.
