Former President Donald Trump indicated that he would accept a harsh sentence after his conviction last week in a New York hush money trial that he has derided as a “scam” and refuses to employ a legal strategy in which he grovels for mercy. “I’m okay with it,” Trump said when asked about the potential of house arrest or even jail during a “Fox & Friends Weekend” interview that aired on Sunday. “I saw one of my lawyers the other day on television saying, ‘Oh, no, you don’t want to do that to the president.’ I said, don’t, you know, beg for anything. It’s just the way it is.” Trump on a potential prison sentence : "I'm ok with it" Says he told his lawyer not to show weakness and beg the judge.

During the interview, Trump also lamented a gag order the presiding judge levied against him. He also said it was “terrible” when asked to respond to President Joe Biden smirking when a reporter asked him to respond to Trump calling himself a “political prisoner” and blaming Biden “directly” for how he was being treated.

They’re the threat to democracy.” RELATED: Trump Raises Staggering Sum Of Cash In 24 Hours Since Verdict
