Former Housing Secretary Ben Carson was interviewed on CNN by Abby Phillip:
PHILLIP: But what evidence do you have that the Justice Department has been weaponized against Trump specifically? There’s no evidence of that.
CARSON: Well, let’s put it this way. Al Capone, who was a notorious killer, had one indictment, and Donald Trump has four indictments. That would tell you something right there.
PHILLIP: I don’t think that’s evidence of anything except that Donald Trump has allegedly committed conduct that has resulted in indictments.
CARSON: It’s evidence that you have a group of people, a system that is out to get this president, and they feel that he is an existential threat to their existence.
When you’re comparing Donald Trump to Al Capone, you’re losing.
