Former President Donald Trump had his claim of presidential immunity undercut by his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.
In an interview on Sunday, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo told RNC co-chair Lara Trump that the government was paying people to help register voters.
"Remember what Kamala Harris, the vice president, said the other day?" Bartiromo asked. "She says now they're going to pay people to come out and get engaged into voting."
"She said government, and this is all taxpayer dollars," she continued. "People should understand this is your money being used to pay college students to register voters."
"They'll receive money through the Work Study, a federal program that pays most of students' wages while employed at a part-time job. Taxpayer money."

Lara Trump called the effort to register voters "unbelievable."
"Imagine Donald Trump using taxpayer money to influence the outcome of an election when he was president," she said. "People would have gone berserk over it. But this is very, very problematic."
The former president has claimed immunity from prosecution for an insurrection because his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, allegedly were on the outer perimeter of the scope of his official duties.
Legal expert Marcy Wheeler pointed out that Lara Trump's admission could be problematic for her father-in-law.
"Lara Trump offers to be a witness attesting that none of Trump's actions in the January 6 indictment -- not a single one -- is an official act," she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "Glad this is on video. Now get her before a grand jury!"
