Trump says he 'could have done very bad things' to Clinton, Obama and Biden

Summary

Asked during an Oval Office event on Wednesday about the possibility of Democrats moving to impeach him if they retake Congress in November, US president Donald Trump said he 'could have done very bad things' to Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama, but thought it 'inappropriate' because 'you have to treat the office of the presidency with respect', adding: 'I can do whatever I want if I want.' Trump has told Republicans that Democrats will certainly try to remove him from office if they win the midterms, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said an impeachment is all but 'guaranteed' if the Republicans lose their majority in Congress. HuffPost UK notes that while Trump did not weaponise the government against Clinton, Biden or Obama, he and his justice department have set their sights on other perceived political enemies, with indictments of former FBI director James Comey and in investigations into Jack Smith, Gavin Newsom, Jerome Powell and several of Trump's opponents in Congress.

Latest: Trump said he 'could have done very bad things' to Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama when asked about Democrats moving to impeach him if they retake Congress in November, adding: 'I can do whatever I want if I want.'
