In recent months, Donald Trump “has made clear to associates that the legal protections of occupying the Oval Office are front-of-mind for him,” Rolling Stone reports.
One source says Trump has “spoken about how when you are the president of the United States, it is tough for politically motivated prosecutors to ‘get to you.’ He says when [not if] he is president again, a new Republican administration will put a stop to the investigation that he views as the Biden administration working to hit him with criminal charges — or even put him and his people in prison.”
As Trump “talks about running, the four sources say, he’s leaving confidants with the impression that, as his criminal exposure has increased, so has his focus on the legal protections of the executive branch.”
