Donald Trump has been seen offering to buy a young girl’s hair for ‘millions’ during a golf cart ride at his West Palm Beach Mar-a-Lago home. The President-elect was spotted chatting with fans around the course, inviting one little girl with curly hair to join him in his cart.
He told her: “Oh, I love that girl. I love that hair. I want her hair! ‘ Can I buy your hair? ‘I’ll pay you millions for that.”
His own much-discussed hair was hidden under his signature MAGA cap. The youngster later revealed she voted for Trump, to which he responded with a surprised “wow” and reciprocated by saying “‘I vote for you” as he pointed towards her.
This comes as Special counsel Jack Smith announced on Monday his decision to drop two criminal cases against Donald Trump due to the legal immunity granted to sitting presidents. The cases involved allegations that Trump retained classified documents and attempted to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
Smith made this announcement after Trump threatened to fire him upon retaking office in January. The decision adheres to longstanding Justice Department policy, which prevents the criminal prosecution of a sitting president, reports the Mirror US.
Although expected, this move signifies a significant end to an unprecedented attempt to hold a former president accountable while he campaigned for another term in the White House.
Court documents filed by Smith’s team emphasized that the decision to drop the prosecutions does not imply any weakness in the cases, but rather acknowledges the constitutional immunity granted to a sitting president. The case accusing Trump of attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss was put on hold as his lawyers argued that, as president at the time of the alleged offenses, he was immune from prosecution.
In July, Trump’s legal team secured a temporary victory by delaying Smith’s case long enough to secure a Supreme Court ruling, which stated that despite no longer being in office, Trump still enjoyed some presidential immunity from criminal prosecution.
However, in August, a new federal jury re-indicted him on the same four charges, concluding that his claims of widespread voter fraud during the 2020 election were “unsupported, objectively unreasonable, and ever-changing” and that Trump “knew that they were false.”
Despite this, Trump has never publicly conceded that his election claims were false and has pleaded not guilty in the case.
