Former U.S. President Donald Trump has sharply criticized the Justice Department after being indicted for being caught up in a document scandal. He described the accusations as absurd and groundless, and that there are forces in the United States that are “worse than China, Russia, North Korea and Iraq together.”
A day after being sued for possession of secret documents, former US President Trump made a strong accusation against the Justice Department. At a Georgia Republican rally, Trump said the lawsuit against him was purely politically motivated to prevent his return to the White House.
Trump claimed that the current President Biden has always wanted to send his “most competitive political opponent to prison.” He said the Justice Department had become a “weapon” of the government and that the charges against him were “ridiculous and baseless.” It was Trump’s first public response since the 37 charges against him were made public on Friday .
Trump: Allegations will only boost his poll ratings
After the content of the accusation was made public, Trump strongly condemned Smith, the special prosecutor of the Department of Justice, on his social platform “Truth Social”. And at a rally in Georgia, Trump said the charges against him would go down in history as “the worst abuse of power”. “Such a bad act of persecution is a mockery of judicial justice.”
Trump declared in his speech that there is a force that is trying to destroy the United States. He said: “I have no doubts about this. This force is worse than Russia, China, North Korea and Iran combined.” He said that this force is the enemy of the United States, “including Marxists, socialists, etc. , communists, and environmental extremists, in addition to the utterly corrupt President Biden, the Fake Media, and those nominal Republicans.
Trump said that the crackdown is also good for him, that is, his approval rating will continue to rise. In March of this year, Trump was accused of paying “hush money” to porn stars ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump himself insisted that he was innocent, and his approval ratings did improve in the subsequent polls.
