Trump Fires Back At CBS Interviewer Suggesting He’s Seeking Political Retribution Against Political Opponents

President Donald Trump shot back at CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell on Sunday as she suggested that he is seeking “political retribution” against his opponents through political indictments.

Trump denied O’Donnell’s question on whether he is seeking revenge against former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James and former national security adviser John Bolton, who are all under indictment. The president assured that the DOJ is prosecuting them because they are “crooked” and “dirty.”

“You know what? You know who got indicted? The man you’re looking at. I got indictedand I was innocent,” Trump said. “And here I am because I was able to beat all of the nonsense that was thrownat me. And yet when you go after a dirty cop like Comey or a guy like Bolton, who I hear has,I don’t know anything about it. I hear he took records all over the place. Who knows? LetitiaJames is a terrible, dishonest person, in my opinion.”

Trump also stated that he never instructed the DOJ to prosecute these three individuals.
