Hostin Speculates on Trump's Potential Exile Amidst Imminent Indictment

Created: JANUARY 24, 2025

On Tuesday's episode of "The View," co-host Sunny Hostin pondered the possibility of former President Donald Trump seeking refuge in Russia or North Korea. This speculation arose following Trump's assertion on Truth Social that he anticipates an indictment related to Jack Smith's January 6th investigation. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg expressed her belief that Trump should be incarcerated, emphasizing that no one is above the law and citing his handling of classified documents. Hostin, while acknowledging that bail shouldn't be punitive, questioned which nation would grant Trump asylum, initially suggesting Russia or South Korea before correcting herself to North Korea. Joy Behar interjected, proposing Saudi Arabia as a potential destination. Trump's Truth Social post detailed his expectation of an indictment and arrest, referring to it as a politically motivated attack by the Biden administration. He also hinted at a potential fourth indictment emanating from Atlanta concerning his alleged pressure on election officials during the 2020 election. Hostin commented that this particular indictment might be straightforward to prove due to documented pressure on the vice president and the assembly of purportedly fake electors. Goldberg voiced concerns about the judicial system's integrity, given Trump's actions and the potential implications for others facing similar accusations.
