In a recent media interaction, Former President Donald Trump revealed plans to prosecute his political opponents if he gets reelected.

As reported by The Hill on Tuesday, Trump communicated this to conservative media personality Glenn Beck during a BlazeTV show appearance.

Beck questioned Trump on his 2016 statements about his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, and asked if he regretted not prosecuting her. In response, Trump expressed no choice but to prosecute his political adversaries, dismissing the charges he faces in multiple states.

“Well, I'll give you an example… The answer is you have no choice, because they're doing it to us," Trump said, adding that he "never hit [President Joe Biden] as hard as I could have."

The ex-president, who is presently leading the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination race, has faced four indictments this year related to his private business transactions, management of classified materials, and endeavors to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election.

Trump maintains that all indictments are politically motivated, aimed at barring him from a potential second term in the White House.
