On Truth Social this Monday, former President Donald Trump reacted with antagonism to some of the most recent investigative developments implicating him and his team.
“The Radical Left Democrat Thugs shouldn’t be allowed to investigate me during, and in the middle of, my campaign for President,” Donald told his followers. “Why didn’t they file these ridiculous charges 2.5 years ago? They waited because they wanted to illegally and negatively influence the 2024 Presidential Election, arguably the most important Election in the history of the USA. We are going to take our now Third World Nation (Airports, Elections, Roads/Highways, Borders, etc.) and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. BE STRONG!”
It’s been noted that the probes against which Trump is clamoring were, in general terms, established and publicly known before he formalized his anticipated run for president in the 2024 race. The FBI had searched Mar-a-Lago in a push for classified docs originating with his time in office months earlier, and U.S. investigators had also already taken action against allies of Trump from his fight against the 2020 election results.
He is now expected to face charges soon in connection to the latter matter and already faces dozens in connection to his admitted and allegedly unlawful harboring of docs from his presidency. The National Archives, a federal agency, has expressly refuted the interpretation Trump has pushed for the federal Presidential Records Act under which he had near-total control of his presidential docs.
Trump also recently faced a loss in Georgia, where Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney ruled on Monday against his push to disqualify local District Attorney Fani Willis from continuing her investigation that could soon culminate in even more charges for Trump related to attempts after the 2020 election to effectively upend the victory seen by Biden. McBurney also rejected a push from Trump to restrict a report from a special grand jury in the Willis probe both in the context of potentially future prosecutions and its possibly future availability in public.
