(The Guardian) Trump says 'I would have every right to go after' adversaries if re-elected
Days after a New York City jury found him guilty of 34 felony charges for falsifying his business records to conceal hush-money payments made ahead of the 2016 election, Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would have the power to retaliate against Joe Biden and other political adversaries, if he returns to the presidency.
“Look, when this election is over, based on what they’ve done, I would have every right to go after them, and it’s easy, because it’s Joe Biden and you see all the criminality, all of the money that’s going into the family and him, all of this money from China, from Russia, from Ukraine,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News conservative commentator Sean Hannity.
Trump appears to suggest he would pursue corruption charges against Biden. House Republicans have tried for years to prove that the president has profited illicitly from his family’s overseas business dealings, but have yet to turn up proof. Last year, they began the process of impeaching Biden, but have yet to bring the charges up for a vote, in part because they have not been able to find evidence to support them.
