“I wasn’t campaigning, the Election was over. I was doing my duty as President to expose and further investigate a Rigged and Stolen Election. It was my obligation to do so, and the proof found is voluminous and irrefutable. Therefore, among other reasons, of course I am entitled to IMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, I DID NOTHING WRONG. Stop the Witch Hunt NOW!” writes fat former President Trump on Truth Social on Sunday morning, leaning into his “official act” argument.
Right off the bat there’s a pretty big problem here: He was still raising money for his campaign after the election was over. Like tens of millions from November 2020 to January 2021. That wasn’t an official act, it was a political one. He literally was still campaigning. The whole value proposition to his call for his fans to put in their hard-earned money was to “win” the election in the courts by funding his legal challenges in the weeks after election day. NOW he’s walking that back?
