We'd Arrest Trump For Fifth Ave Shooting, NYC Mayor Says

NEW YORK — He might give up his freedom even if he didn't lose any voters. NYPD cops would put President Donald Trump in handcuffs if he tested his lawyer's theory that he could freely shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, city officials said Thursday.

"I don't care if it's the president of the United States or anybody else — you shoot someone, you get arrested," Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio said at an unrelated news conference. "We would arrest him."

One of the NYPD's highest-ranking officials concurred. "We would," First Deputy Commissioner Benjamin Tucker said.

The officials were responding to Trump lawyer William S. Consovoy's claim that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted or even investigated for a criminal act while in office — even one as bold as opening fire on Fifth Avenue.

And book him and give him a full body cavity search among other things.
