Trump says he has “every right” to interfere in an election

In an interview on Fox News on September 1, former U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that despite the charges against him for his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, he had “every right” to interfere in that election.

During the televised interview, Donald Trump invoked his presidential immunity, claiming that he had had “every right” to interfere in the 2020 election.

The statement comes just days after Jack Smith, the special prosecutor leading the federal investigation into Trump’s attempts to interfere in the electoral process, filed a new indictment replacing the previous one, taking into account the Supreme Court’s recent clarifications regarding presidential immunity.

In the revised indictment, Jack Smith clarified that Trump had “no official responsibility” for a state’s certification of election results and that he was acting “not as President, but as a candidate”.

During the interview, Donald Trump also boasted that, since his indictment, his position in the polls has climbed!

“It’s so crazy that my numbers in the polls are going up.”

Trump pointed out that, in general, the approval ratings of people under indictment tend to go down…

Shortly after Trump’s statements, Kamala Harris’s campaign argued that the comments were clear evidence that Donald Trump considered himself to be “above the law.”

But don’t forget that the Supreme Court ruled that sitting presidents enjoy immunity for acts performed during a presidential term…
