Former President Donald Trump is reportedly laying the groundwork to make it so he can be effectively above the law if elected to a second term this November.
According to a Friday report in Rolling Stone, Trump is reaching out to Republicans in Congress and urging them to pass legislation to make it essentially impossible for local district attorneys and state attorneys general to prosecute him in court. The bill is called the "Stop Political Prosecutions Act," and would shield all former presidents from all non-federal prosecutions by allowing a president to move local and state cases to federal court.
"Even after a second term, he doesn’t think any of this is going to end,” one unnamed Republican lawmaker told Rolling Stone. “He doesn’t think Democrats are going to quit coming after him.”
