EXCLUSIVE: Pres. Trump reacts to Kamala Harris' statement that she'd 'have no choice' but to pursue criminal charges against him if elected. 'Probably, if I were running in her position, I'd make the same statement,” he tells GStephanopoulos.

President Donald Trump slammed Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris for saying that, if elected, she would “have no choice” but to pursue criminal charges of obstruction of justice against a former President Trump.

But even as the president blasted Harris’ comment, he also suggested he’d say the same thing if he were in her shoes. "Donald Trump is using the Department of Justice to run interference on his own behalf, and he's appointed an Attorney General to act like his personal defense lawyer, not the lawyer for the American people.

The president also reacted angrily to the statement that more than 1,000 former federal prosecutors from both Democratic and Republican administrations have signed onto stating that President Trump would be charged with multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice if not for long-standing Department of Justice policy protecting a sitting president from prosecution.
