![]() There was a split-screen moment as Trump railed against prosecutors and President Joe Biden spoke on the South Lawn of the White House for a Juneteenth celebration.Īt one point Fox News showed images of both men. 'We will obliterate the Deep State,' Trump vowed, after polling showed his support jumped and held after criminal indictments in New York dealing with the Stormy Daniels 'hush' payments and in federal court in Florida over national security documents 'As president, I could have declassified, but now I can't,' he said in the recording. The former president claimed he had an 'absolute right' to declassify documents, even as the federal indictment included a taped transcript of him discussing having 'highly classified' information at the club. Trump said Smith compared unfavorably with Special Counsel Robert Hur, who is investigating documents found at Biden's home and office. Smith could be seen staring at Trump inside the courtroom during the historic proceeding. He termed him a 'raging lunatic' and said 'he looks like a thug.' Once again, Trump spoke at length about Special Counsel Jack Smith, who in addition to heading the classified documents probe is running a probe based out of Washington on Trump's election overturn efforts and January 6. He spoke at length about the Bill Clinton 'socks' case, which fact-checkers have already said isn't a valid comparison to what Trump is accused of doing. Can you imagine?' the former president added. 'A document shredding truck was spotted on the way to Dick Cheney's house. Bush's White House 'lost 22 million emails.' 'They should have used him a little bit more as an adviser in the 2016 election,' Trump also joked, alluding to how he beat Clinton's wife Hillary in the presidential election that year. 'He lost the nuclear codes,' Trump claimed of Bill Clinton, who he called a 'nice guy.' The former president suggested that other political figures had got away with much worse. Trump termed it 'one of the most outrageous and vicious legal theories ever put forward in an American court of law.' The indictment said he had nuclear information at Mar-a-Lago and claimed to have Pentagon attack plans at the Bedminster club where he was speaking. He pointed to the use of the 1917 Espionage Act to go after him for alleged willful possession of national security information.
