Trump says he had 'every right' to interfere in 2020 election

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who faces federal and state charges for allegedly trying to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden, insists he had “every right” to interfere in the election.

“Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it?” Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired on Sunday.

A federal indictment accuses Trump of defrauding the United States by preventing Congress from certifying Biden’s victory and depriving voters of their right to a fair election. He faced a revised federal indictment last month accusing him of illegally trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.

Trump faces similar charges in Fulton County, Georgia, where he was also charged with racketeering, which is used to target members of organized crime groups and carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

Maybe we shouldn’t let him get away with everything he does.

Doesn't the SCOTUS agree with him? Or did I misunderstand those clowns?

Rentlar ,

It seems he is claiming he interfered with the election as an official action, so it checks out…

Bridger ,

Except… the executive branch has no role in elections. It cannot be an official action.

Sure it can, you just need to buy yourself a few Supreme Court Justices. They go cheap these days!

When you’re a dictator, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the polls. You can do anything.

Actually, “they” don’t. Unless you have a really firm grip of the country, “they” will kill and replace you faster than Trump takes a dump.

No, he’s not that smooth. It’s “and when I did” from the very beginning

Confession before his next guilty conviction.

Is it not interference just by announcing my candidacy? Is it not interference to just exist? There are only two states of being. Black and white. On and off. Ones and zeros. We either accept all things are interference or nothing is. I mean unless it’s democrats and then it’s definitely interference and must be stopped at all cost because socialism. ;)

Infallible logic. Have you considered becoming president?

Aurenkin ,

Well, at least he’s learnt his lesson and been suitably punished so he’s definitely not going to do anything like that again.

Probably not really needed but /s…

It must be incredibly exhausting lying all the time. The truth is easier

TachyonTele ,

It’s exhausting he never sees the consequences of it.

lolcatnip ,

It’s only exhausting if you’re trying to avoid getting caught in your lies. Trump doesn’t care who knows he’s lying.

st3ph3n ,

Hey, FBI? Look! Over here. He’s doing it again.

And he has every right to rot in jail
