Trump says he'd fire special counsel Jack Smith 'within 2 seconds'
During a call into the "Hugh Hewitt Show," Trump said one of the first things he'd address if reelected would be to terminate special counsel Jack Smith.
"It’s so easy. I would fire him within two seconds," Trump said during the call.
"I don’t think they’ll impeach me if I fire Jack Smith. Jack Smith is a scoundrel. He’s a very dishonest man, in my opinion, very dishonest man," he continued, adding that he was going to sue Smith.
Harris’s campaign was quick to criticize Trump for his comments.
"Donald Trump thinks he’s above the law, and these latest comments are right in line with the warnings made by Trump’s former Chief of Staff that he wants to rule as a dictator with unchecked power," Harris campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.
"A second Trump term, where a more unstable and unhinged Trump has essentially no guardrails and is surrounded by loyalists who will enable his worst instincts, is guaranteed to be more dangerous. America can’t risk a second Trump term," Moussa added.
