The Democrats’ parallel prosecutions of former president and 2024 frontrunner Donald Trump are establishing precedents that could backfire on themselves, according to Victor Davis Hanson, a historian and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.

“The irony of this whole mess is that they are prosecuting Donald Trump for election interference, but they’re interfering in a way that’s never happened in American history,” Mr. Hanson said in an interview with EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders: NOW.”
