Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ just unveiled yet more charges against former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, with the new indictment claiming that security camera footage was deleted and that the main Trump employee responsible said “the boss” wanted it deleted.
Trump, for his part, exploded immediately on Truth Social, exposing the ridiculousness of his being attacked and persecuted by the DOJ when Biden, who had far more boxes of classified info than he does, has gotten the kids gloves treatment by the DOJ.
Trump said, “Whatever happened to the Crooked Joe Biden Document’s case? He had 20 times more Boxes than I did, and he wasn’t covered by the Presidential Records Act. I was! When it first came out that Biden had all of these Docs, many Classified, almost everyone, including those on the Left, said, “there goes the case against Trump.” But they waited and waited, got failed prosecutor Deranged Jack Smith, and STRUCK – but did almost nothing on the REALLY BAD Biden Documents case, many stored in Chinatown!”
In another, earlier post, Trump had said, “My attorneys had a productive meeting with the DOJ this morning, explaining in detail that I did nothing wrong, was advised by many lawyers, and that an Indictment of me would only further destroy our Country. No indication of notice was given during the meeting — Do not trust the Fake News on anything!”
Trump also spoke to Fox News Digital about the situation, telling that outlet that the DOJ is harassing him to interfere with the election, presumably to force him to drop out or make him so toxic in the eyes of generally uninformed people that he can’t get elected, even against Biden.
He said, when speaking about that and the disgusting, banana republic-like way in which the DOJ is acting, “It’s election interference at the highest level. They’re harassing my company, they’re harassing my family and by far, least importantly of all, they’re harassing me.”
Continuing, Trump sounded off on the charges he is facing because of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith’s investigation into him and his handling of classified documents, telling Fox News Digital that “the charges are ridiculous, and they know it better than anyone.”
He then argued that the charges represent prosecutorial misconduct within the DOJ and are happening only because he is effectively challenging the left and presenting a legitimate electoral threat, saying, “This is prosecutorial misconduct used at a level never seen before. If I weren’t leading Biden by a lot in numerous polls, and wasn’t going to be the Republican nominee, it wouldn’t be happening. It wouldn’t be happening.”
He emphasized that, saying that he was facing the indictments only because he’s leading in the race, saying, “But I am way up as a Republican and way up in the general election and this is what you get.” He added that “our country is suffering from DOJ abuse.“
