Trump on Whether Fauci Should Be Prosecuted by DoJ: ‘Maybe He Should’; ‘What He Did Is Far More Serious than a Lot of Crimes’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Well, you know, they prosecuted Peter Navarro and they prosecuted Steve Bannon, two very decent people, over something that, essentially, was never prosecuted before. And there are sort of telltale signs of similarity. And they went to jail for a number of months over something that — I saw, one of the analysts said, they used to laugh at it in the Justice Department when something like that was referred. But Merrick Garland prosecuted two very decent people and sent them to jail. I wasn’t president. I wouldn’t have given them a pardon in two seconds. But I wasn’t, it was after I left. They waited until after I left and then they prosecuted these two people. And they ought to be ashamed of themselves. So, when you see that happen, you sort of say, maybe he should. What he did is far more serious than a lot of crimes, frankly. But they prosecuted two people when nothing like that has ever taken place before.”
