At a recent campaign rally, Trump welcomed rap artists Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow (real names Michael Williams and Tegan Chambers) on stage. These two individuals have found themselves in hot water due to legal problems - Williams is facing conspiracy to commit murder charges, while Chambers has been caught up in a complex indictment with 140 counts. Both have pleaded not guilty to their respective charges. They're among 32 individuals named in this indictment, which also includes allegations of shootings and assaults.

Trump introduced the pair, shook their hands, and called them up on stage. Williams, aka Sheff G, stated, "One thing I wanna say: they'll always whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures. Trump's gonna shout our wins for all of us." Sleepy Hallow, or Tegan Chambers, then joined in, saying, "Make America great again."

Trump then thanked them and praised Sheff G's gold grills, remarking, "I've gotta get my teeth like that. I want them to be just like yours."

This noteworthy event took place in one of the most Democratic-leaning counties in the United States. It occurred just a few days before closing arguments in Trump's New York trial, which involves 34 felony charges. Trump has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty to all allegations. CNN correspondent Holmes Lybrand helped report this piece.
