Fox News’ Juan Williams Details Plan To Ban Trump From Running in 2024

Fox News political analyst Juan Williams published a commentary piece on Monday arguing former President 👤Donald Trump should be barred from running for the White House in 2024 because of his connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol incursion.

The power, Williams claimed, rests with Attorney General Merrick Garland.

“Garland has the power to rule out another Trump run by citing ‘section 3 of the 14th amendment, which bars anyone from holding office who “engaged in insurrection,” against the U.S.,’ Robert Reich, the former Labor secretary, recently wrote in The Guardian,” Williams wrote in The Hill.

“So, yes, there is a case to be made that Trump committed crimes against America,” he added.

Williams cited a Washington Post article to argue that Trump’s “attempted coups cannot be ignored.”

“‘The bottom line is this: Now that Trump is out of office, the DOJ’s view that sitting presidents cannot be indicted no longer shields him. Attempted coups cannot be ignored,’ wrote lawyers Laurence Tribe, Barbara McQuade and Joyce White Vance in a recent column in The Washington Post,” Williams wrote.

“If Garland’s Justice Department is going to restore respect for the rule of law, no one, not even a former president can be above it,” Williams added.

He concluded, “Yes, Garland has the power to stop Trump from running again. It is time to use it.”

In another piece published by The Hill on Aug. 9, Williams argued, “Former President Trump and his disciples in the GOP are really putting the ‘con’ in modern conservatism these days.”
