One day after Donald Trump's lawyers argued in federal court that absent a congressional conviction, a president would be criminally immune from ordering Seal Team Six to assassinate a political rival, Trump had a chance to weigh in on the absurd assertion himself.
Asked if he agreed with his attorneys' contention, Trump said, in short, yes.
"On immunity, very simple, if a president of the United States does not have immunity, he'll be totally ineffective because he won't be able to do anything," Trump said, "because it will mean he will be prosecuted—strongly prosecuted perhaps—as soon as he leaves office by his—by the opposing party."
