Former US President Donald Trump said in an interview given on Sunday (1st) that he had “every right” to interfere in a presidential election, as he faces a federal charge of interfering in the 2020 election.
“It’s crazy that my numbers aren’t going up. Who did you hear that you accused of interfering in a presidential election when you have every right to do that?” Trump said in an interview with Fox News.
Trump and special counsel differ on how to proceed in election subversion case
District Attorney Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment last week in his investigation into efforts by the former president and his allies to overturn the 2020 election. The new indictment reduced the charges against the 2024 Republican presidential candidate in light of the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling, but none of the four charges were dropped.
Trump also said of Vice President Kamala Harris: “She is a nasty person. The way she treated Mike Pence was horrible.”
Pence, who served as Trump’s vice president, made a critical comment about Trump after the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and said he would not support Trump for president. Pence was targeted on the day by a mob of Trump supporters — some of whom chanted “Hang Mike Pence” — who tried to stop the election results from being certified. Trump continued to falsely claim that Pence had the power to ensure the certification of the results.
Trump, who is scheduled to debate Vice President Kamala Harris next week, referenced the viral moment when Harris told Pence “I have the floor” when he interrupted her during a 2020 vice presidential debate.
