Fox News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday suggested former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election were "just politics" as the former president faces multiple criminal conspiracy charges. Trump's latest indictment includes counts related to his efforts to challenge the 2020 election in the lead-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot where supporters protested election results. On Tuesday as he covered the indictment, Watters asked on the Fox News show "The Five" whether Trump's comments about unproven election fraudulence can simply be chalked up to "politics." Watters later on Tuesday compared Trump's indictment to "political war crimes." These are political war crimes.
