If reports are true, it would be a violation of the Logan Act.
“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”
Woodruff clarified on Wednesday that the anecdote was not based on her original reporting, but rather on an an Axios story last week that cited two U.S. sources as claiming that Trump and Netanyahu had spoken on the phone about cease-fire and Gaza hostage talks. Netanyahu’s office and Trump both separately denied the report.
“I did encourage him to get this over with. You want to get it over with fast. Have victory, get your victory, and get it over with. It has to stop, the killing has to stop,” Trump said at a New Jersey press conference on Thursday, referring to their meeting at Mar-a-Lago last month. But he also criticized cease-fire demands.
LoL, it’s Trump…nothing will happen to his cheesburder ass
IIRC, he was caught withholding congressionally allocated money from Ukraine in order to extort them into an investigation on Hunter Biden, in the hope it would impact the 2020 election. And I don’t recall any repercussions.
He technically did get impeached for that, he didn’t get removed from office (which is infuriating) but it was one of his impeachments.
He definitely should have faced more though
Twice impeached nonce not removed.
With or without any presidential immunity, Weird DonOLD enjoys the upper tier of privileged criminal justice that make him more equal than everybody else, or so it seems with his loyal subjects on SCOTUS who keep helping him be free to commit more crimes.
