Trump Says He Could Still Go After the Clintons and Obama, Claims He Has “A Lot of Information”

President Trump said Thursday that he could still launch criminal investigations into former President Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Obama, claiming he is sitting on “a lot of information” about the three Democrats.

Speaking with Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty, the president said he had the opportunity to pursue the Clintons and Obama in the past but chose to hold off.
“I could have done numbers on Hillary Clinton, I could have done numbers on Bill Clinton, I do like Bill Clinton,” Trump said. “I could have done numbers on Barack Hussein Obama, still could, I still could. I could do big numbers if I wanted to. I turned down going after Hillary Clinton.”

The president did not offer additional details to back up his claims.

When Finnerty asked what he meant by “big numbers,” Trump explained that he could “go after them criminally” or “destroy their reputations.”
Pressed on whether he actually plans to pursue the former officials, Trump indicated that he likely would not. However, he raised the prospect of being impeached for a third time.

“I guess not, probably not, but I think if they impeach me, again,” the president said, before moving on to another topic.

Trump’s remarks come as he and his administration have faced criticism over criminal investigations and prosecutions targeting people seen as his political opponents.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) brought charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who won a civil case against Trump during the period when he was out of the White House.

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted twice, first last year and then again in 2026. Comey’s first indictment was thrown out after a judge determined that the prosecutor in the case had been unlawfully appointed.

The DOJ also went after six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video telling members of the military not to follow illegal orders. That effort fell short, however, when a grand jury declined to indict them.

Others have also come under scrutiny from the Trump administration, including Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Fed board member Lisa Cook. Trump attempted to fire Cook, but the Supreme Court stepped in and blocked him from doing so.

The administration has notched at least one win in court. Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty in June to charges of illegally keeping sensitive documents.
While Trump suggested Thursday that he is unlikely to pursue the Clintons and Obama, his comments made clear he believes the option remains on the table.
“I still could,” the president said of Obama, underscoring his claim that he holds damaging information on the former Democratic leaders
