Donald Trump offered fresh criticism of special counsel Jack Smith, unleashing a tirade of posts on his Truth Social account attacking the prosecutor for ramping up investigative efforts over the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago last year.
“The Special 'Prosecutor,' Jack Smith, who is harassing, threatening, and terrorizing people who work for me, probably illegally, and totally at odds with the way Crooked Joe Biden is being treated, will no longer be known as the Special 'Prosecutor,' but rather, the Special 'Persecutor,’” Trump wrote in a post early Saturday morning. “He is a Trump Hating SLIMEBALL who is going far beyond the original instructions of the Department of Injustice.
Trump faces a number of other criminal investigations and trials, with developments occurring across the East Coast on Friday evening — possibly contributing to Trump’s outburst. Attorneys rested their respective cases in Manhattan federal court on Thursday in the defamation trial of former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of raping her in the 1990s and later sued after he claimed she lied about the allegations. Trump did not testify in the trial and has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, it was reported Friday evening that at least eight of the Republican “fake electors” in Georgia have accepted immunity deals in the criminal investigation looking into Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Their cooperation could offer key insights into the former president’s efforts to reverse President Joe Biden’s win in a crucial battleground state that helped him secure the presidency.
“All of these Fake Prosecutions are merely being done to Interfere with, and Influence, our Elections,” he wrote. “It is a dangerous time in America!!!"
