In a phone interview from Atlanta Prison with Fox News’ Lawrence Jones, Exotic accused the Trump administration of putting him in prison.
“His administration tricked me into putting me in here for an agenda to stop you from keeping tigers or petting tiger cubs.” All you have to say is, “Karma is a bitch, isn’t it?”
Exotic also suggested there was nothing wrong with Trump’s indictment of hush money payments made to the porn star when asked if it believed the charges were “fair.”
“If a man breaks the law, he has to pay the price,” Exotic said. “No different from President Biden, Hunter Biden, Obama, or anyone else.”
