During an appearance on Fox News Monday night, Eric Trump had a meltdown as he suggested that his father would have been subjected to “capital punishment” if he was found to have gained access to the servers of the Barack Obama administration, while addressing the recent allegations by John Durham about the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Speaking with Sean Hannity, the second son of the former president lashed out at the media for not making a bigger deal of the claims made by Durham, the special counsel appointed by the Trump administration to investigate the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, in court filings submitted on Friday.
Court documents filed by Durham allege that a tech executive for company Neustar had accessed White House servers in order to look at internet traffic from Trump Tower and the White House to uncover “derogatory” information about the former president.
Citing the court filing, Fox News reported Clinton’s presidential campaign paid a technology company to “infiltrate” servers tied to Trump, despite the word “infiltrate” not appearing in the motion.
“At what point is it acceptable to break into the servers at the White House? That’s the most cherished building in this country that has the most top secrets, everything in this country that runs our government,” Eric Trump told Hannity.
“And it’s okay just to break into servers? Why, Because you’re a Democrat? Can you imagine if my father broke into servers in the Obama administration? It would be capital punishment, Sean,” he added, appearing to suggest that Hillary Clinton should be executed.
Donald Trump himself also appeared to suggest that members of Clinton’s campaign staff should have been executed over the allegations.
“The latest pleading from Special Counsel Robert [sic] Durham provides indisputable evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia. In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death,” Trump said in a February 12 statement.
