Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie announced Wednesday that he is suspending his 2024 presidential campaign. He was one of just a few Republican hopefuls who legitimately criticized former President Trump throughout his campaign.
Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.
