To begin with, let me make it clear there's a difference between the former president and what he did on January 6th as the president of the United States and his call for support at the Capitol, versus an individual person, today, asking…

Clearly, he's following some leaks, apparently that are coming out of a DA's office that should not happen.

Look, I don't think it's a territorial dispute. While he may be taking territory, and it's technically accurate to say that there's territory being taken, this is bigger than that for us.
