Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House communications director under Donald Trump, expressed concern that Trump’s claim of presidential immunity from prosecution could be alarming given his behavior.
She cited instances where Trump made controversial statements, including suggesting the execution of individuals and showing disregard for the safety of his vice president.
Griffin’s comments were made on “The View,” where she elaborated on her experiences in the Oval Office. (Trending: GOP Rep. Mace Clashes Directly With Hunter Biden At Hearing)

“The problem is with Trump, this isn’t super outside of the realm of possibility that we would be in a scenario like that,” Griffin said.
“When he was told his VP had to be evacuated from the Capitol for his own safety, he said, basically, ‘So what?’ Then he said he deserved it when there were ‘Hang Mike Pence’ signs. He alluded to Gen. Milley should be executed. He, in a meeting I was in in the Oval Office with a dozen other staffers, said that an aide should be executed for leaking something negative about him.”
“So this is a man who will push kind of every boundary that’s out there,” she said.
“Right before I resigned, I was in an Oval Office meeting with a dozen other staffers, and somebody had, he thinks, leaked a story about him going to the bunker during the George Floyd protests,” she said.
“And he said, ‘Whoever did that should be executed.’”
The discussion arose after Trump’s attorneys argued for presidential immunity in a federal election interference case.
