Trump At 2016 Rally Declared That Having A President Under Indictment Would “Grind Government To A Halt”

CNN reports:

Former President Donald Trump said in 2016 that a president under indictment would “cripple the operations of our government” and create an “unprecedented constitutional crisis” – years before he himself was indicted on federal charges while running for a second term as president.

Trump made the comments nearly seven years ago about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“We could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial,” Trump said during a November 5, 2016, campaign rally in Reno, Nevada, reviewed by CNN’s KFile. “It would grind government to a halt.”

Read the full article. Trump has said that he’ll continue to run even from prison. There’s no law against that.

A president under indictment would “cripple the operations of our government” and create an “unprecedented constitutional crisis”.
