New York Times: “In the hours after the new charges became public, Mr. Trump, whose advisers have been blunt that he must win the election to overcome his legal challenges, highlighted the stakes for him of the 2024 election.”
“He suggested in an interview with a right-wing news site that if he is elected, he will use the powers of the presidency to insulate himself from legal accountability on the documents case and the other inquiry being conducted by Mr. Smith into Mr. Trump’s efforts to retain power after his 2020 election loss.”
Meanwhile, the Des Moines Register notes former Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) said Trump is running for another term in the White House for one reason: “to stay out of prison.”
