Trump says he had 'every right' to interfere with presidential election

Summary

Former President Donald Trump said he had "every right" to interfere with a presidential election. Trump faces four federal charges in the case into his alleged attempts to thwart the 2020 election results.

On Tuesday, Smith filed a revised indictment against Trump, which comes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in July that presidents have immunity from prosecution for official acts. Trump has argued his actions were official acts so he should not be prosecuted.

Cannon, a Trump appointee to Florida federal court, dismissed all charges against the former president in his classified documents case after claiming Smith was wrongfully appointed as special counsel.

"The viciousness and the violence," he said. "She's a Marxist," Trump said. This is a developing news story and will be updated with more information.

How anybody accepts this and acts like they're "defending democracy" by voting for him baffles me.

Pretty sure this would not count as an official act if he's acting as a presidential candidate

Too bad the way SCOTUS punted it, it's going to take forever for those consequences to even maybe come up

I'm just being hyperbolic but you're right, no reason to add to the craziness
