"I'm using the Brenda case as a precedent. Now I have a case on which I can challenge the president," she says.

Trump lamented his own criminal cases and said they set a "terrible precedent" in an interview with Newsmax last June.

He said he knew of no court precedent that would call for striking down such a law on 1st Amendment grounds.

“There's a long list of areas of law that have not been tested, and areas where we need to start getting precedent,” he said.

And he set a precedent for former presidents by continuing his public service, and charitable and human rights work, after leaving office.
