Trump Launches Scathing Attack on “Crooked Joe Biden” in Truth Social Rant After New Charges
Former President Donald Trump’s emotions flared on Truth Social, a platform he frequents, as he faced additional charges for his handling of classified documents after leaving office. (news-us.feednews.com) The Justice Department’s Special Counsel, Jack Smith, issued a superseding indictment, introducing new charges and naming Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira as a third defendant. (glonme.com) In a recent online rant, Trump compared his handling of classified documents to President Joe Biden’s, making false claims that Biden stored papers “in Chinatown.” He expressed frustration at Biden’s case, implying that Biden had more classified documents but faced no scrutiny under the Presidential Records Act. However, the crucial distinction lies in Trump’s alleged refusal to return the documents and his attempt to obstruct investigators, while Biden’s team promptly handed over the discovered documents to the National Archives.
Earlier, in June, Trump faced 37 federal charges for alleged mishandling of classified documents, becoming the first current or former US president ever charged with a federal crime. He pleaded not guilty in a Miami federal courthouse, with his longtime aide, Walt Nauta, as his co-defendant. The latest charging document accuses Trump of conspiring with two employees to delete security footage at Mar-a-Lago to conceal the classified documents and his activities with them. Prosecutors claim that Trump instructed an employee to delete the footage after receiving subpoenas for it as evidence to the grand jury.
In this unfolding legal drama, Carlos De Oliveira, a Mar-a-Lago worker, faces charges for the first time, while Trump faces three new charges, including two for obstruction and one for willful retention of defense information. This new charge pertains to a top-secret document on military activity in a foreign country, leaked during a recording of a July 2021 meeting at Trump’s Bedminster golf club, where he was heard boasting about possessing “highly confidential” military documents about Iran.
