Trump accused of 'making a threat' against Merrick Garland in latest Fox interview

Donald Trump Friday was accused of making a threat against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in a Fox News interview.

In the interview with Trump, the conservative network asks the former president what he thinks of Garland. Garland was first chosen by then-President Barack Obama to be a Supreme Court justice, but was made A.G. by President Joe Biden after Republicans tanked his judicial nomination during the election.

"What do you say about Merrick Garland?" the host asked.

"I'm disappointed in him," Trump said, adding that Garland is known as being "very liberal."

"But I always looked upon him as being a very legitimate person," Trump then added. "And I'm very disappointed that he's allowed this all to happen. A raid of Mar-a-Lago. They could have had whatever they wanted!"

Responding to that clip, former prosecutor Ron Filipkowski said, "Make no mistake, this is a threat."

Dem strategist Adam Parkhomenko echoed those comments.

"Trump pretends he would’ve supported Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court while, as [Filipkowski] points out, making a threat," he wrote on Friday.

@ErubeyJoshua commented, "He thinks he’s Tony Soprano."
