Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump spoke to the press briefly following a historic hearing Tuesday in Washington, D.C.; “The president has to have immunity,” Trump said.
Trump issued a stern warning about the dangerous precedent being set by Jack Smith and Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.
“I think most people understand it, and we feel very confident that eventually — hopefully at this level, but eventually we want: The president has to have immunity,” Trump said outside the courtroom, calling it a “momentus” day, hailing prosecutors making “two major” concessions in Tuesday’s Federal Appeals Court hearing.
“It’s very unfair when a political opponent is prosecuted by the DOJ, by Biden’s DOJ,” Trump added. “So they’re losing in every poll. They are losing in almost every demographic.”
“Numbers came out today that are really very mindboggling if you happen to be Joe Biden, and I think they feel this is the way they’re going to try and win, and that’s not the way it goes.”
“That’ll be bedlam in the country. It’s a very bad thing.”
“They conceded two major points,” Trump said of the hearing. “If it weren’t me, that would be the end of this case. But sometimes they look at me differently than they look upon others, and that’s very bad for our country.”
“You can’t have a president without immunity,” Trump said outside the courtroom. “You have to have, as a president, you have to be able to do your job.”
