Trump Downplays Retribution Talk If Elected: ‘It Has to Stop’

Former President Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that he will not seek retribution for the criminal cases that he faces if he gets elected in November.

When asked by Fox News‘ Sean Hannity about whether he will seek vengeance against his political opponents, President Trump replied: “Number one, they’re wrong.”

“It has to stop, because otherwise, we’re not going to have a country ... I would have every right to go after them, and it’s easy,“ he said. “What they’re doing to me, if it’s going to continue, we’re really not going to have much of a country left,” the former president continued.

But President Trump said that what he described as politicized prosecutions of him and others needs to stop because Americans don’t want it. “We can’t have this stuff go on,” he added, saying that “we’re talking about, I think, the most important election in the history of our country.”

He told the Fox News host that after he was elected in 2016, he didn’t use the Department of Justice (DOJ) to prosecute his then-Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
