He said this, "It's difficult to not point out the dirty hands of the people that might complain about election interference." Think he's stepping on some toes? And Trusty pointed to the former special counsel Jack Smith's prosecution of President Trump ahead of the 2024 election.

Griff JenkinsHOST
And he can join us on Radio 2, which, Jim, I can't stop talking about it because I've I think, you know, for people that don't understand, this is really quite a significant thing, particularly because, A, it kind of came out of the blue.

Okay, but there's people that are opposed to capital punishment.

Jim TrustySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Bill AdamsHOST
Here's what he said.
