The president-elect, who sat down with “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker on Sunday, was asked about a “significant” pledge he made on his Truth Social platform where he said he’d appoint a “real” special prosecutor to go after “the most corrupt president in the history of the USA.”

I break it down more to the border but I won on the border and I won on groceries,” said Trump, who also claimed he “can’t guarantee” if his tariffs will cost Americans more.
