Former President Bill Clinton got candid in a June 1, 2025 interview on “CBS Sunday Morning,” weighing in on leadership, accountability, and the direction of American politics.
Clinton didn’t shy away from naming names—calling out Donald Trump’s behavior and sharing his thoughts on President Joe Biden’s ability to lead.
Asked whether Trump’s power has limits, Clinton didn’t hesitate: “Oh yeah.” He pointed to the U.S. court system—ironically filled with many judges Trump appointed—as a key check on the former president’s influence.
Clinton acknowledged that Trump has a pattern of trying to dodge legal consequences, but he expressed confidence that the legal system is equipped to push back.
Still, he warned that if those attempts to avoid accountability succeed, the damage could go far beyond Trump himself—it could deeply wound the country.
