Former President Trump declared today that he believes a prosecution against him by President Biden's Department of Justice (DOJ) would be a threat to democracy. Speaking during a press conference after an important court hearing, Trump argued that a president should have immunity while carrying out their job responsibilities. He pointed to the case of President Obama and the potential immunity he would have received for a drone strike, contrasting it with his current situation.
Trump's legal team emphasized that if the prosecution were against Obama, immunity would likely come into play. They warned that adopting Biden's stance could set a dangerous precedent, opening the door to political prosecutions in the future. Trump fervently expressed his belief that immunity should be granted, stating, 'As a president, you have to have immunity. Very simple.'
