Article Summary
Donald Trump has claimed to be the victim of a “coordinated HOAX” in a tirade on his social media platform, Truth Social. He targeted Justice Department Special Counsel Jack Smith, US Attorney General Merrick Garland, and President Joe Biden. Last week, Trump was informed by Smith that he is a target of a grand jury investigation into his role in the 6 January 2021 Capitol riot and his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. He could be charged as early as this week, having already been indicted twice this year over hush money payments allegedly made during his 2016 election campaign and over his alleged mishandling of classified documents post-presidency.
Donald Trump Slams US Justice Department And Joe Biden In Latest Social Media Outburst
Former president Donald Trump takes aim at Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and President Joe Biden in his most recent tirade on social media platform, Truth Social.
Trump, in a flurry of posts, alleged that his enemies are orchestrating a “coordinated HOAX” to deprive him of a potential return to the White House. This statement follows his recent indictment for his suspected role in the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
In an online post, Trump vented frustrations over his legal woes. He accused several entities and individuals, including Special Counsel Jack Smith, of spending over $25 million on a “coordinated HOAX” intended to sabotage his political future. He also targeted President Biden, characterizing him as a “corrupt criminal” and bemoaned the disparity in investigative expenses.
Trump also criticized Attorney General Merrick Garland and alleged that various Democratic “Prosecutors” in New York and Atlanta have become campaign managers for President Biden. He expressed disbelief at the current events unfolding in the United States
Trump’s posts on Truth Social not only target Jack Smith, but also redefine President Biden from the “Sleepy Joe” label he attached to him during the 2020 race. His reference to the United States as a “once great Country” echoes the bleak tone he has recently embraced.
At the Turning Point Action Conference in West Palm Beach, Trump contended that the country has degraded into “a third-world hellhole, run by censors, perverts, criminals and thugs” under Biden’s administration.
Since his announcement to run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, Trump has amplified his unproven claims that the Justice Department under the Biden Administration is being used as a tool to dampen his political aspirations.
Trump continues his narrative of being the subject of a Democratic “witch hunt”, similar to his rhetoric during his 2017-2021 presidency. He has leveraged this narrative to rally his supporters and generate campaign funds. Despite these controversies, Trump remains leading in most polls for the Republican nomination, outpacing other potential candidates such as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
