St. Louis prosecutor investigating couple who brandished guns at protesters says governor and Trump

The office of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner said on Twitter that Missouri's governor and President Donald Trump "came after her" for investigating a case.

At a news conference Tuesday, Gov. Mike Parson said Trump had expressed interest in the Mark and Patricia McCloskey case. The McCloskeys were seen on a viral video brandishing guns at protesters outside their mansion last month.

Parson said he spoke to Trump on the phone about the case. At the same news conference, the governor expressed his belief the couple should not face charges.

Joel Schwartz, the couple's attorney told CNN he expected charges to be forthcoming earlier on Tuesday.

stepped down in disgrace) ... neither one of these scumbags have a damn thing to do w/ how the city of STLMO does its business (I'm a city resident too) and these two idiots pointed guns at people who were not threatening these two gun touting idiots. They were simply walking through their neighborhood on the sidewalk from point a to point b.

So in effect, they threatened these people at gunpoint, some of whom could have been one of my neighbors or friends. It's like me standing on my front porch and someone is walking down the sidewalk (like they always do, en route to the bus stop, or to the store, etc. and pointing a gun at them. I want them charged w/ attempt assault. Their actions were way overboard.
