Video Resurfaces of Trump Saying a President Under Felony Indictment Would Create ‘Constitutional Crisis’

Days ahead of the 2016 presidential election, the Republican nominee told supporters that Hillary Clinton “shouldn’t be allowed to run” for president while being investigated by federal agencies

Days before the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump said that someone involved in a federal investigation should be disqualified from the presidency, to avoid creating a “constitutional crisis.”

Trump is now convicted of 34 felony counts for hiding an unlawful scheme to corrupt that election, remains under felony indictment in three other cases, and is continuing to campaign for another term in the White House.

Shortly after a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty in his first criminal case on May 31, TikTok user Lauren Lane resurfaced footage from the former president’s 2016 speech in Reno, Nev., delivered three days before the election.

The video reminded people of Trump’s now-ironic 2016 campaign strategy in the race against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
