Washington:
Former US president Donald Trump on Thursday slammed the choice to indict him over hush cash funds made to a porn star, raging towards prosecutors and his political opponents.
“That is Political Persecution and Election Interference on the highest stage in historical past,” he stated in an announcement.
“Even earlier than I used to be sworn in as your President of america, the Radical Left Democrats — the enemy of the hard-working women and men of this Nation — have been engaged in a Witch-Hunt,” he stated.
In a five-paragraph assertion launched inside minutes of the indictment information breaking, Trump vowed to take revenge as he plots to return to the White Home within the 2024 election.
“The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen of their obsession with attempting to ‘Get Trump,’ however now they’ve finished the unthinkable — indicting a very harmless individual in an act of blatant Election Interference,” he stated.
“Weaponizing our justice system to punish a political opponent, who simply so occurs to be a President of america and by far the main Republican candidate for President, has by no means occurred earlier than. Ever.
“I consider this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden,” he stated.
Trump, who held his first 2024 election marketing campaign rally final weekend, added “We are going to defeat Joe Biden, and we’re going to throw each final one among these Crooked Democrats out of workplace.”
His second son Eric joined within the blistering salvo.
“That is third world prosecutorial misconduct,” Eric tweeted. “It’s the opportunistic focusing on of a political opponent in a marketing campaign yr.”
