With the clock ticking until former President Donald Trump makes what could be a major announcement, “The View” co-host Joy Behar believes the Justice Department should indict him.
“Now that Trump is a wounded animal, this is the exact time when Merrick Garland should swoop in and indict him,” Behar said on Wednesday.
Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in to argue the former president is apparently announcing another White House run to avoid an indictment.
“That’s exactly why he’s announcing. Already Merrick Garland is a day late and a dollar short. He should have done that this morning before this guy announces,” Behar responded. “But he didn’t do it yet, which makes it look political. Which is what Merrick Garland was trying to avoid.”
Hostin pushed back by suggesting it would take time to build “four to five cases” against Trump.
Behar asked, “So how about one before the announcement? One.”

However, Hostin pushed back as she said, “He’s gotta look at everything because if you bring a case against Donald Trump…you gotta win it, it’s gotta stick.”
The exchange comes as Trump is scheduled to make an announcement at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, which is expected to reveal his plan to run again.
Rushing to indict him hours before he announces a presidential run is not going to make the decision look apolitical.
