Overview
- O’Donnell pressed Trump on the recent indictments of James Comey, John Bolton and Letitia James, asking if the cases amount to political retribution.
- Trump rejected the premise and said he gave no orders to prosecutors, arguing the targets were corrupt and praising Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.
- CBS noted a Truth Social post in which Trump called Comey and Letitia James “guilty as hell” and wrote “Justice must be served, now!!!,” with Comey indicted five days later.
- Comey, Bolton and Letitia James have pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against them.
- The cases span alleged false statements and obstruction tied to Comey’s 2020 testimony, national defense information counts against Bolton, and a mortgage-related residency allegation involving James.
