Donald Trump slams 'sham' federal indictment as 'election inference', the 'most heinous abuse of power' in US history
Trump, making remarks Tuesday night from his property Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, slammed Smith as a"deranged lunatic," and slammed President Biden for having"his top political opponent arrested and charged." "The Espionage Act has been used to refer to traitors and spies," Trump said."It has nothing to do with a former president legally keeping his own documents."
"The Presidential Records Act does not confer any mandate, duty or even discretional authority on the archivist to classify records under the statute," Trump said."This responsibility is left solely to the President of the United States—so that’s the decision taken here." Trump pointed to former President George W Bush, saying his White House"lost 22 million emails," and said the National Archives"cannot ensure a complete transfer of any of the Bush records."Trump went on to slam Smith as a"raging and uncontrolled Trump hater."
He was charged with two counts of withholding documents of record, and one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation, one count of"scheme to conceal," and making a false statement in June 2022 when he said a"diligent search" of Mar-a-Lago was conducted.
