On Thursday, August 3rd, former President Donald Trump was indicted in Washington, D.C., on four federal charges stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into 2020 election interference and Jan. 6. The charges he’s facing include conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Trump pleaded “not guilty” to all four charges and then proceeded to rip and ridicule the Swampy town of Washington, D.C. on Truth Social, saying, “CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT I HAD TO FLY TO A FILTHY, DIRTY, FALLING APART, & VERY UNSAFE WASHINGTON, D.C., TODAY, & THAT I WAS THEN ARRESTED BY MY POLITICAL OPPONENT, WHO IS LOSING BADLY TO ME IN THE POLLS, CROOKED JOE BIDEN, IT WAS A VERY GOOD DAY!”
Further rending the regime limb from limb for its attacks on him in another post on Truth Social, Trump said, “CRAZY! My political opponent has hit me with a barrage of weak lawsuits, including D.A., A.G., and others, which require massive amounts of my time & money to adjudicate. Resources that would have gone into Ads and Rallies, will now have to be spent fighting these Radical Left Thugs in numerous courts throughout the Country. I am leading in all Polls, including against Crooked Joe, but this is not a level playing field. It is Election Interference, & the Supreme Court must intercede. MAGA!”
Trump also blasted Fox News for not covering the 2024 race correctly, saying, “Why is it that Fox & Friends refuses to put up all of the polls where I am beating Biden, and DeSanctimonious is getting clobbered? He’s also down to me by 40 plus points, and not coming back. No wonder their ratings are way down!!!”
All of those came after a pre-indictment post in which Trump said, “Biden and his family steal Millions and Millions of Dollars, including BRIBES from foreign countries, and I’m headed to D.C. to be ARRESTED for protesting a CROOKED ELECTION. UNFAIR VENUE, UNFAIR JUDGE. We are a Nation in Decline. MAGA!!!”
Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, commented on the recent indictments as well. Speaking on the matter while outside the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Court House, Habba said, “On March 17th, Hunter accidentally admits that it was his laptop from hell. The next day, [Manhattan District Attorney] Alvin Bragg indicts President Trump.”
Continuing, she added, “June 8th, an FBI document is released showing that Ukrainians paid the Biden crime family millions and millions of dollars. The next day, the Mar-a-Lago raid and the Mar-a-Lago indictment.” She then said, “Last week, Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal fell through when the judge realized it had blanket immunity. The following day, a superseding indictment against Donald Trump.”

Emphasizing the suspicious timing of the matter, Habba then said, “July 31st, Devon Archer goes to testify in front of the House. What happens the next day? The January 6th indictment that we’re here for today.” And, commenting on the intent, she said, “This is election interference at its finest against the leading candidate right now for president for either party. President Trump is under siege in a way that we have never seen before.”
