Nikki Haley scoffed at the suggestion that former presidents have complete immunity from prosecution for crimes for which they were not impeached and removed from office. This is a key argument Donald Trump's defense team is making in order to get two charges against him dismissed.
“That's crazy. That's just ridiculous. I mean, you have to use common sense here. You can't go and kill your political opponents and claim immunity. [as] It’s the president,” she said.
“I think we have to start doing the right thing.”
Trump's lawyers argued Tuesday in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that his attempts to retain power after the 2020 election were part of his official duties.
Ron DeSantis previously called the debate “novel” and predicted the former president would lose the debate.
“I think the D.C. Circuit is going to rule against Donald Trump on this issue. I don't know exactly what the outer limit is. I don't think it necessarily got litigated. “We're always going to follow the Constitution, so that doesn't matter,” he said.
“We intend to uphold the highest traditions of the office,” he added. “[Trump’s] He will ultimately be tried before a left-wing D.C. jury made up of all Democrats. ”
