Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that President Donald Trump would have 'absolutely' faced prison time if he had not won the 2024 election, citing his 34 felony convictions related to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. Blanche argued that Trump's legal troubles, including cases in New York and D.C., would have led to imprisonment without his re-election, and criticized prosecutors for using 'tainted' evidence.
