  • It wouldn't matter if Donald Trump killed 50 on our side.

  • The two journalists who wrote the book recorded Graham's comments.

  • In January of last year, Trump said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose voters.

If Trump wanted to kill Republicans, he could, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Graham told Susan Glasser and Peter Baker that Trump could kill 50 people on our side. An advance copy of the book was given to the Independent.

Trump made similar comments when he was a candidate. At a campaign rally in New York City, Trump said he would shoot someone in the middle of the city.

I have the most loyal people. Did you notice that? Trump spoke to his crowd in Iowa. It was in the middle of Fifth Avenue. I would not lose any voters. It's really amazing.

If he shot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, he wouldn't be investigated or prosecuted, according to his lawyers.

The limits of presidential immunity were brought up by Judge Denny Chin when he pressed William Consovoy.

"No one can do anything, that's your position?" Sonam Sheth said that Chin asked Consovoy.

Consovoy said that was correct.

The book will come out later this month.

Business Insider has an article on it.
