Says it is "very possible" his political opponents will face prosecution

In a Newsmax interview that aired June 4, days after his conviction, Trump suggested his political opponents could be prosecuted in retaliation. He said, "Does that mean the next president does it to them? That's really the question," and stated "it's very possible that it's going to have to happen to them." Observers characterized the remarks as an open floating of retributive prosecution against his adversaries, a stance he repeated across multiple post-verdict interviews. The comments came as Trump also pledged to reshape the Justice Department if returned to office.
