Mitch McConnell Says He Doesn't Think Presidents Should Be Immune From Prosecution

"Obviously, I don't think that," the Senate minority leader said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday presidents should not be immune from criminal prosecution for actions taken in office, as the Supreme Court considers the issue.
“Obviously, I don’t think that,” McConnell told “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker when asked about the assertion, which former President Donald Trump has brought to the nation’s highest court.
“But it’s not up to me to make that decision,” he continued. “The president clearly needs some kind of immunity, or he’d be in court all the time. So we’ll see how the Supreme Court deals with it.”
In 2021, McConnell said there was “no question” Trump was to blame for the U.S. Capitol riot, but he voted nonetheless to acquit Trump after he was impeached by the House. But McConnell argued that Trump “didn’t get away with anything, yet.”
“We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being [held] accountable by either one,” he said.
