Trump, the first former US president to face criminal charges, also said he would not drop his bid for a White House return if convicted of the 34 counts of falsifying business records that were filed against him.
“No, I’d never drop out – it’s not my thing. I wouldn’t do it.”
The US Constitution does not prevent someone who has been charged with or convicted of a crime from seeking or holding office.
Trump likewise said that he does not see Joe Biden running for re-election in 2024: “I think it is almost inappropriate for me to say it, but I don’t see how it is possible. And it is not an age thing.”
