Donald Trump has floated the possibility of imprisoning his political opponents if he wins back the White House in November.
Trump made the comments days after a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush-money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. He denied he was guilty of any wrongdoing.
Speaking to the conservative outlet Newsmax on Tuesday, Trump added to his recent false claims that he had never called for his rival in the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton, to be jailed.
“I said, ‘wouldn’t it really be bad?… Wouldn’t it be terrible to throw the president’s wife and the former secretary of state—think of it, the former secretary of state—but the president’s wife into jail? Wouldn’t that be a terrible thing?” Trump said.
