Former President Donald Trump made statements during an interview with Fox News that have drawn raised eyebrows from legal experts who argue that he may have inadvertently admitted to breaking the law.
During the interview with host Mark Levin on Sunday, Trump asserted that he had “every right” to interfere in the 2020 election, a claim that has raised eyebrows among legal professionals and political observers alike.
His comments follow a recent development in the case brought against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who amended the charges to address a Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents significant immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken in their official capacity.
“Who ever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election, where you have every right to do it?” Trump stated during the interview, appearing unapologetic about his actions following his defeat in the 2020 election.
He further remarked on the impact of the indictments on his political standing, noting, “You get indicted and your poll numbers go up… when people get indicted, your poll numbers go down.”

YWN should be ashamed!!!
Glad to see you take part in the fake news media.
You put about a four second clip..
He is saying when you See that there are 300000000 Dead people who voted. Yes, you have every right to interfere in an election!
There is no detail explaining the actions being labelled “interfering”. Sounds like a game of semantics. Trump is not a lawyer and is not speaking in a legal sense. Everyone who votes is de facto “interfering” in the election just by voting, as obviously the vote changes the results (the numbers) of what the numbers would have been had the individual not voted.
Does anyone understand English anymore? Granted, Trump’s use of the language is rather poor and limited, but it is very clear what he said.
Here is what he said, properly punctuated:
“Whoever heard that you get indicted for interfering an election – which you had every right to do – and you get indicted and your poll numbers go up.”
1. He did not say “Whoever heard of getting indicted for interfering.” He said, Whoever heard of getting indicted and your numbers going up,” – with the other comment as an aside.
2. “When you had every right to do it” – referring to his specific actions, not to the theoretical act of election interference. He did NOT label his actions as an illegal interference.
But then again, we play the same games with every statement made by Biden, so all’s fair in war…
Further to the concept of “election interference”. Every time such people as Kamala Harris and Walz call for banning Trump and banning so-called “misinformation” (where, of course, they get to decide what is labelled “misinformation”) for social media platforms, is itself de facto election interference.
There was “smoke” since exit polling suggests Trump won, and exit polls tend to overstate the Democratic vote. And many states changed their election rules, often at the last moment, and Biden did better by absentee ballots than by in-person votes, which is a classic “red flag” of fraud. SO IT IS WRONG TO SAY THAT TRUMP HAD NO BASIS FOR CHALLENGING THE RESULTS.
Trump happened to be wrong since on closer examination it appears that above issues were the result not of Democratic fraud but due to Democrats tending to believe that Covid19 was an existential crisis and their being afraid to vote in person, whereas Republicans were less gullible and more likely to vote in person. However that wasn’t entirely obvious at the time, so it is understandable why Trump was of the belief that the election was stolen.
I am losing my patience with The Yeshiva World!
Confession to what??? As Trump correctly said, whoever heard of anyone being indicted for “election interference”? There is no such crime! It doesn’t exist! It is completely legal to “interfere” with elections, which is why he had every right to do so.
If it were a crime, then Biden, Harris, Smith, Bragg, and Willis should all be in prison right now for conspiring to indict Trump on all these different bogus charges, for no other reason than to interfere with the current election.
