The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in an interview that he would dismiss the federal special prosecutor Jack Smith "in two seconds", if he wins the election. Smith is leading the prosecution, which among other things concerns the storming of Congress on January 6, 2021.

The conservative political commentator Hugh Hewitt asked if Trump could imagine pardoning himself if he is elected president. Trump responded by talking about prosecutor Smith:

It would be so easy. I would fire him within two seconds. He is one of the first things I would take care of, Trump replied in the podcast.

The opposing camp in the American presidential election campaign immediately warned that Trump's statement is dictatorial.

The leader of the Harris-Walz election campaign, Ammar Moussa, criticizes Trump's statement about Smith.

"Donald Trump believes he is above the law, and these latest comments are precisely in line with what Trump's former chief of staff warned about – that he wants to rule like a dictator without his power being controlled", writes the Democrats' campaign staff in a statement.
