Former President Donald Trump warned that President Joe Biden could face “indictments” under the “next president,” suggesting that similar legal actions could be taken against Biden should he win.
Trump claimed immunity from prosecution related to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, alleging political persecution by Biden’s Justice Department.

According to the Independent Journal Review, “In a video posted on Truth Social, Trump spoke about his argument that he should be immune from prosecution related to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol because the charges stem from actions he took as president,” reported on Tuesday, adding that Trump went on to say that Biden directed his Justice Department to politically persecute him.
Trump said, “[Biden] told his DOJ to do it, ‘Go indict him.’ Because he’s losing badly in the polls—so badly that he figures this is the only way he can win. The only problem is that thus far, it’s pushed us way up in the polls because people see it’s a scam.”
“Frankly, it’s never happened in our country before. It only happens in third-world countries or banana republics. They’re using their Department of Injustice to go after his political [opponent], and this is all him, a hundred percent him. He’s the one that told them to do it and they obey his orders. It’s a shame. Never happened in the United States before, but it’s happened now,” he continued.
Trump warned, “He has to be careful because that can happen to him also. The next president, whoever that may be, has a statute of limitations that go back six years. That’s a long time, Joe. You have to be very careful. We have to guard and protect our country. We have to do what’s right for our country.”
“You don’t indict your political opponent because he opposes the corrupt election, which you know was corrupt… You don’t indict your political opponent,” he added.
Ned Foley, an election law professor at Ohio State University, said, “I certainly could understand if the court would like any of the procedural avenues that would avoid squarely addressing any of the merits. As a matter of first instinct, I think that would be attractive.”
“It may help the court out from that perspective, but it may hurt the country,” added the professor.
The Supreme Court is set to hear Trump’s appeal on an expedited basis, with potential ramifications for his eligibility and the country’s political landscape.
