Bush and Obama Could Be Investigated if Trump Doesn't Get Immunity

Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization Eric Trump, one of former President Donald Trump‘s sons, warned that if the Supreme Court does not issue his father immunity, prosecutors are “going to go after every single president.”

On Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Eric Trump said presidents should receive full immunity from actions done while in office, or else a dangerous precedent of investigating former presidents, including former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, could be set in place. Eric Trump outlined his takeaways from last week’s oral arguments before the high court.

“God help us if they get it wrong, that’s what I take away. I know the system very, very well,” Eric Trump said. “The only people who are going to benefit are the big law firms in Washington, D.C., because they are going to go after every single president.” 

Eric Trump questioned where prosecution of a former president would stop, saying “They’ll start with Obama, fast and furious, right where he gives two thousand weapons to cartel members. Then, they’ll go to Obama where he weaponized the IRS against conservatives.”
