"I want my people to be honest, and if they're not going to be honest, they have to be prosecuted […] I view it as if people are not honest, they're stealing from me as president,” Trump said when asked about it before departing on Marine One on Thursday.
“If somebody is dishonest, I consider them not only against the country, I consider that dishonest against me,” he added, saying he will “never do anything do anything to stop the prosecution if somebody is dishonest.”
