Former President Donald Trump warned President Joe Biden he could also face “indictments” under the “next president,” which suggests Trump will make a similar move when he returns to the White House.
The Independent Journal Review reported:
“In a video posted on Truth Social, Trump spoke about his argument that he should be immune from prosecution related to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol because the charges stem from actions he took as president.”
“[Biden] told his DOJ to do it, ‘Go indict him.’ Because he’s losing badly in the polls—so badly that he figures this is the only way he can win. The only problem is that thus far, it’s pushed us way up in the polls because people see it’s a scam,” Trump said.
Trump’s remarks came as he leads Biden over 2 points in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
“Frankly, it’s never happened in our country before. It only happens in third-world countries or banana republics,” Trump continued.
“They’re using their Department of Injustice to go after his political [opponent], and this is all him, a hundred percent him.”
“He’s the one that told them to do it and they obey his orders. It’s a shame,” he said.
“Never happened in the United States before, but it’s happened now,” Trump continued before he appeared to drop a warning.
“And he has to be careful because that can happen to him also. The next president, whoever that may be, has a statute of limitations that go back six years,” Trump said.
“That’s a long time, Joe. You have to be very careful. We have to guard and protect our country. We have to do what’s right for our country,” Trump added.
“You don’t indict your political opponent because he opposes the corrupt election, which you know was corrupt… You don’t indict your political opponent.”
This comes as the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether the 14th Amendment prohibits Trump from seeking the presidency.
Despite the challenges Trump faces; there is a silver lining.
CNN’s first projection of the 2024 Electoral College map shows that former president Donald Trump is well-positioned to win this year’s presidential election.
The map is based on polling and other factors.
CNN said:
“And it is that path to 270 that we attempt to explore here. We base this current outlook on public and private polling, conversations with campaign advisers, Republican and Democratic political operatives, members of Congress, and political professionals involved with outside groups poised to be active in the race.”
