Trump claimed his New York trial was 'rigged' and brought by Biden to keep him off the campaign trail.
Since his conviction, Trump has seemingly tried to rewrite history as he awaits sentencing, in which he faces potential incarceration.
While Trump enthusiastically led "lock her up" chants aimed at his 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton, he now claimed he "thought it was terrible” when his MAGA supporters said it.
"After we won against Hillary, people would say: Lock her up, lock her up," Trump told Sean Hannity in a recent interview. "And I said, wouldn’t it be terrible if I locked up the wife of the president of the United States, former, and locked up the former secretary of state?”
“It’s a terrible thing," the ex-president added.
