Former President Donald Trump argued he had “every right” to interfere with the 2020 election.
When speaking on Fox News late Sunday evening, Trump defended his actions after the election because it was “the worst case of election interference that anyone’s ever seen.” Many reviews have found no evidence of widespread election fraud in 2020.
“It’s so crazy that my poll numbers go up. Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election, where you have every right to do it, you get indicted, and your poll numbers go up. When people get indicted, your poll numbers go down,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News’s Life, Liberty and Levin.
Trump is facing federal charges in Washington, D.C., for his alleged actions to subvert the 2020 election results and involvement with the subsequent Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol. He is also facing charges in Georgia for racketeering and other crimes over an alleged scheme to overturn the election results in the state.
Despite no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, Trump maintained there was “election interference” that acted against him.
“Well, this is the worst case of election interference that anyone’s ever seen, certainly in our country. They do this in Third World countries. They have some of it in South America — they don’t do it a lot, believe it or not. But they do it,” Trump said.
“And it’s such a bad precedent because people are going to think about it differently, and they’re going to think about it differently. And it’s very sad, actually,” he continued.
President Joe Biden recently voiced concerns about a peaceful transfer of power if Democrats keep control of the Oval Office in November.
