Mary Trump, the niece of the president, is saying she believes President Donald Trump should be charged with crimes over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
During an interview with Dean Obeidallah on his SiriusXM show, the president’s niece pondered if Donald Trump should be charged with “negligent homicide” due to his management during the pandemic.
“If you have it in your power to save somebody’s life but stand by and do nothing, isn’t that negligent homicide or something like that?” she asked.
She noted that withholding Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) from a state because “the governor isn’t nice enough to you” and people die as a result is not right, questioning, “How is that not a crime?”
Mary Trump continued, “I think we’re at this point where the executive has so much power, especially when one party predominates, that it’s as if anything goes.”
“There’s no accountability and there’s literally no reason for him to stop doing what he’s doing, which is why when we get out of this nightmare, there has to be a reckoning like we’ve never seen before in this country.”

Obeidallah asked Mary Trump if she believes Donald Trump should be charged with crimes for his “mishandling” of the COVID-19 pandemic, to which she responded, “Yup, I do.”
She added that she thinks the president should be “indicted for his financial crimes at the state level” and “everything needs to be looked into.”
“Part of the problem with Donald has always been that he’s allowed to get away with the small stuff and it just snowballs over time,” Mary Trump added.
Mary Trump has been appearing in interviews recently, following the release of her book, “Too Much and Never Enough.”
