Donald Trump said he had every right to interfere in the 2020 presidential election.

Julian Zelizer : The president has no constitutional authority to interfere with elections or their results.

Trump 's comments could be seen as a form of admission, but whether it amounts to a legal confession is more complex and would depend on the specifics of what he said.

Ruben Navarrette : Donald Trump broke the law to try to overturn the election results.

He says it's not an official act, since it's outside the role the Constitution spells out for a president.

He asks: What kind of person can behave that way, think that way and still think he deserves to be reelected to the presidency? He says Trump supporters seem wholly dismissive of their candidate’s dismissiveness.
