Former President Trump has been indicted on federal charges and ordered to appear in federal court in Miami next Tuesday over the Mar-a-Lago documents. He has been charged with seven counts involving obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and illegal retention of classified government material.
Trump reacted to the indictment news on Truth Social, shredding the perceived hypocrisy of the Justice Department in going after him for documents he claims to have declassified as president, making it legal for him to keep them, while not indicting President Joe Biden for the thousands of classified documents found to be in his possession, including in the garage of his Delaware home.
“The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax, even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania, and documents strewn all over his garage floor where he parks his Corvette, and which is “secured” by only a garage door that is paper thin, and open much of the time,” former President Trump said.
He also posted a video of himself and captioned it by saying, “I AM AN INNOCENT MAN. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS TOTALLY CORRUPT. THIS IS ELECTION INTERFERENCE & A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Trump also posted “Thank you Victor!” as repost with a comment on a video he posted of Victor Davis Hanson saying that the indictment is “designed to destroy the person who’s leading in the polls (Trump) against Joe Biden. That’s what countries abroad do that are unstable and corrupt—the existing (Biden) administration uses the powers of government to indict his likely opponent in the next election.”
Former President Trump also “retruthed” a post by DC Draino in which that account claimed that numerous presidents and vice presidents took home classified documents but that only Trump was punished for doing so, saying (punctuation inserted for ease of reading), “Bill Clinton took home classified docs. Bush took home classified docs. Obama took home classified docs. Pence took home classified docs. Hillary Clinton had classified docs on her email server. Biden had classified docs in his garage. Trump is the only one that gets indicted.”
In another retruth, President Trump drew attention to a similar post by Election Wizard in which that account said, “Here’s a reminder that Joe Biden kept classified documents in his garage.”
And, in an attack on the DOJ and FBI in which he pulled no punches and called the agents for those agents “Thugs,” former President Trump said, “I have just learned that the “Thugs” from the Department of Injustice will be Indicting a wonderful man, Walt Nauta, a member of the U.S. Navy, who served proudly with me in the White House, retired as Senior Chief, and then transitioned into private life as a personal aide. He has done a fantastic job! They are trying to destroy his life, like the lives of so many others, hoping that he will say bad things about “Trump.” He is strong, brave, and a Great Patriot. The FBI and DOJ are CORRUPT!“
