The Republican party’s front-runner, Donald J. Trump, recently spoke with Breitbart News exclusively. The investigation being conducted by Special Counsel Jack Smith and the subsequent choice to charge Trump with new crimes connected to document possession were the main topics of discussion. Insisting that Smith was using the Justice Department as a political tool, Trump angrily defended his innocence. The former president expressed his displeasure with the ongoing legal processes by characterizing the circumstance as harassment.
At the start of the interview, Trump revealed to the reporter that he had just learned of Smith’s decision to ignore the indictment and file charges against a third suspect, Carlos De Oliveira. The accusations linked Trump to a plot to destroy surveillance footage from Mar-a-Lago in the summer of 2022. When he voiced his displeasure, Trump referred to it as harassment and electoral interference.
He explained, “I’m protected by the Presidential Records Act totally. It shouldn’t even be a case. It’s not a criminal case. Where’s Biden with all the documents? He’s got 20 times, 30 times the documents I have, and he has not made it easy for them either. He has been hiding boxes. They’re sending boxes to Chinatown. Boxes are being sent to Chinatown, and yet China is paying them millions of dollars. You explain that one. You don’t even hear about it. All you hear about is Trump.”
Then, Mr. Trump noted that “No, this is a two-tier system of injustice. That’s what we have. We have a sick country. Our country is very sick right now. We have a failing nation and it’s a very sad thing to watch.”
In the interview, Trump stated that if he were to win a second term, he would fire Jack Smith due to Smith’s dismal career. Trump made it clear that he does not see a reason to keep Smith on board given that he has attacked others and has repeatedly had decisions overturned by the Supreme Court. Trump further charged that Smith had seriously harmed people, citing the well-known Lois Lerner and IRS case as an illustration of his severe wrongdoings. Trump said that the government was even required to apologize to those who were impacted.
Mr. Trump further stated that Mr. Smith “went after Christians. This is a guy—he’s a wild man. I call him deranged. He’s been overturned. He went after the governor of Virginia—overturned unanimously. He went after another senator or something and was overturned. What he’s done is just horrible. The abuse of power—it is prosecutorial misconduct.”

He expressed confidence that the public was able to see through the claims and pointed to polling statistics as evidence. In response to a query about how history will see this time, Trump remarked that it will be regarded as a “embarrassment.” Trump claimed, “It’s unbelievable, but the public understands and it had the opposite effect. The Department of Justice did this to remove me from the election.”
