Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy stopped by the “Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday to discuss new charges against former President Donald Trump.
Host Laura Ingraham told Ramaswamy that President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election race appears to have “used up the Justice Department’s power.” Mr Ramaswamy has denounced the charges, suggesting that the legal basis for the charges is shaky. (Related: Donald Trump indicted for third time)
“As I said before, each Regarding the other two indictments.disease please say it again. This sets a terrible precedent our country. they’ll be full of bananas A republic, a complete Third World for this matter. I think soThe hat has set a dangerous precedent,” Ramaswamy said.
“Well, ohIn this particular indictment, Laura, I think there are several. About the facts that are really concerning. first they are yousing an unprecedented legal song hypothesis. Alvarez was the case in 2012 still a good law to hold it civil servants and candidates What elected officials can do False Statements, Duration. So, by definition, he uses An unprecedented legal theory Here it is,” he continued.
“I think that’s the more dangerous part. This is not so, Laura Even Trump Matters, It Matters to the legal system. By criminalizing the act of Four co-conspirators, lawyers and others I was legally honest Advice to Trump.the job of Lawyers actually provide legal advice. Trump sought legal advice. and, I think that’s why this indictment push the boundaries even further only on legal grounds. And the general rule of thumb is if you try indict political opponents, former president in the middle election is better Well, don’t be based on unprecedented, untested, flimsy legal theory. and,hats are exactly what we have It’s dangerous here,” Ramaswamy said.

I’m voting 3rd Republican primaries now.it will be It’s easier with Donald Trump excluded from competition. that’s not what any of us should do i wanna win ’cause it’s bad for this country.
