Another day and another effort to defend Donald Trump from any and all prosecutions and criminal acts.
Q: Attorney General Paxton, on the off chance that the Supreme Court comes back and does not say presidents are immune from official acts, do you think your administration would pursue charges against, say, Barack Obama for the drone strikes and murdering of three American citizens?
Paxton: Yeah, so every state's different.
