Eric Trump comments. Eric Trump on father’s alertness: ‘The whole world knows his toughness’ excerpt: “The guy is really a remarkable human being, and I love him to death, and I’m proud of him. And I think the whole world knows his backbone and his toughness, and it’s exactly who we need behind the Resolute Desk in Washington, D.C. It’s the exact person we need in the Oval Office,” he added. Trump currently faces 34 criminal counts of falsifying business records in connection to reimbursements to his ex-fixer, Michael Cohen, who paid adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 to stay quiet about an alleged affair she had with the former president ahead of the 2016 election. It is the first of four criminal trials Trump will face.
I hear Trump is getting fed up with Kari Lake hanging out at Mar a Lago. She's making Melania jealous! Also she's really not helping Trump much as she's a LOSER and won't bring much to his election, so she's not going to be his V.P. should he get elected. I also read that RFK Jr. is pulling far more people from Trump than from Biden. Initially Trump was all for him running to help him defeat Biden. Now he's attacking RFK Jr. as he finally realized he's a threat. Such hypocrisy. Next thing you know he'll ask RFK Jr. to be his running mate... watch!

Article about the question of presidential immunity. indictment of presidents excerpt: "A president or former president has never been charged with a crime before, which means that no court has been given the opportunity to rule on the topic. However, there have been a couple of close encounters. President Ulysses S. Grant is the only president ever brought into custody, but his arrest was over a speeding charge which resulted in release and a fine. President Richard Nixon’s likely indictment led his successor President Gerald Ford to pardon him. President Bill Clinton escaped indictment after negotiation with special counsel over false testimony given in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. However, no President has ever received an indictment. The closest the Supreme Court has come to addressing the issue was, in requiring President Nixon abide by a subpoena, stating that “neither the doctrine of separation of powers, nor the need for confidentiality of high-level communications, without more, can sustain an absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances” (See United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 706 (1974). However, circumstances have rarely given rise to the opportunity for elaboration."
