In a June 1, 2025, *CBS Sunday Morning* interview, former President Bill Clinton warned against threats to democracy, criticizing Donald Trump’s behavior.

Clinton described Trump’s leadership as “authoritarian” and divisive, saying, “We’ve never seen anything like this in my lifetime.” He warned that Trump’s attempts to avoid legal consequences and to punish law firms representing political opponents were “un-American” and dangerous to the justice system.He stressed the importance of accountability, praising the judiciary—including Trump-appointed judges—for upholding the law. But he cautioned that continued attacks on legal institutions could “undermine democratic stability.”

Addressing concerns about President Biden’s health, Clinton responded to claims from the book *Original Sin* and recent audio clips. Despite Biden’s age, Clinton said he’s never doubted the president’s leadership, emphasizing, “Judgment and intent matter most.”Clinton ended with a call for unity and integrity in politics, urging Americans to reject extremism and demand responsible leadership: “We need limits on power and a political culture grounded in unity.”
