NYPD and Mayor Bill de Blasio: Yes, Trump would get arrested if he shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, despite his lawyer’s claims to the contrary
President Donald Trump will get arrested if he shoots someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue — despite his lawyer’s claims to the contrary, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the NYPD said Thursday.
“If anybody shoots someone, they get arrested. I don’t care if they’re the president of the United States or anybody else,” de Blasio told reporters during an unrelated press conference in Manhattan. “If you shoot someone, you should get arrested, and we would arrest him.
The claim came as the president’s lawyers were fighting a subpoena by the Manhattan district attorney for his tax returns. “Nothing could be done, that’s your position?” asked Judge Denny Chin, regarding the lawyer's assertion of blanket immunity.But NYPD First Deputy Commissioner Ben Tucker said police would arrest Trump for a shooting, just like anybody else.“Anyone who calls themselves a lawyer who would say that, should not be a lawyer — let’s start with that,” the mayor said. “If you shoot someone, that’s a crime and no one is above the law. He would be arrested, period.
