Former President Trump said in a new interview published on Friday that possible fears of being indicted “didn’t play into” his decision to run for president in 2024.
Trump has been the subject of several probes, including the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot attack; one in Georgia’s Fulton County regarding possible election interference in the state’s 2020 election; and one being conducted by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) over the Trump Organization and whether it illegally changed its asset valuation for financial gain.
New York magazine Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi noted in a piece published on Friday that there was speculation that Trump had been advised to announce his White House bid early on the idea that it could complicate how prosecutors investigated the former president-turned-candidate.
