Former President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Mark Levin that he had “every right” to interfere with a presidential election.

The host on the Life, Liberty and Levin program asked the Republican nominee about his ongoing legal concerns amid the 2024 campaign, including Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith’s federal election subversion case. Levin asked Trump if “this election interference never ends?”

“Actually, but you know the good news it’s so crazy that my poll numbers go up. Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election, where you have every right to do it, you get indicted and your poll numbers go up. When people get indicted your pull numbers go down,” Trump said during the second part of a recorded interview that aired Sunday night.

Newsweek emailed the Trump and Kamala Harris campaigns for comment Sunday night.

This is a developing news story and will be updated with more information.
