The latest assertion from GOP presidential candidate, former Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas), is that ex-President Donald Trump is vying for the presidency, not for the nation’s welfare, but to avoid potential jail time.

What Happened: According to The Hill, Will Hurd made the contentious statement on Monday. Hurd accused Trump of trying to evade prison by launching another presidential campaign, instead of genuinely wishing to Make America Great Again.

"The problem that I have with Donald Trump is, is Donald Trump's not running for president to Make America great again. He's running for president to stay out of prison,” said Hurd on “NewsNation Now With Connell McShane,” according to the report.
