Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that prosecuting him as a former president would lead to “bedlam” in the United States.

Trump, speaking after a court heard his claim that he should be immune from prosecution, said putting him on trial would open a “Pandora’s box.”

“It’s very unfair when a political opponent is prosecuted by the (Justice Department)” of President Joe Biden, his likely 2024 election rival, Trump said.

“They feel this is the way they’re going to try and win. And that’s not the way it goes. It will be bedlam in the country.”
