Speaking to reporters at an "Invest America" roundtable at the White House, President Trump was asked if it would help Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) politically to be arrested.
Transcript
00:00We would have done a good job. I guarantee you that. All right, please, Peter.
00:04Mr. President, have you gotten an update from your negotiating?
00:07Thank you, thank you, President Trump. So, it seems like Gavin Newsom likes the attention that he's getting right now from you.
00:13I do, yeah.
00:14It seems like he does. He, if you look at recent history, somebody who was running for president, you, who got arrested and had a mugshot,
00:23you could make the argument that politically that wound up helping you.
00:27Are you worried at all at this moment that talking about him getting arrested could be helpful to his political prospects?
00:35Because a lot of people think he wants to be sitting right where you are.
00:38Well, in my case, it was a witch hunt, and everybody knew it.
00:41And I was able to explain that during the process, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here right now.
00:45And it was a total witch hunt, disproven to be a witch hunt, and you see what's happened.
00:49In his case, it really is very obvious.
00:51You look at what's happened between the fires, between, I could name ten things right now.
00:59We talk about the trains.
01:00We talk about all of the costs in California.
01:03You talk about all of the people that are flowing and destroying life for everyone else.
01:08So, no, I don't think it's going to help him.
01:10I think it's, I think it's actually very bad for him.
01:12And right around the time that we were walking.
