Former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign released its first ad over the weekend since special counsel Jack Smith unveiled three new charges in a superseding indictment in the classified documents case.
The additional counts bring the total charges against Trump for improperly mishandling sensitive documents to 40, up from the original 37 federal counts. The former president is now accused of attempting to delete security footage at his Mar-a-Lago property along with maintenance worker Carlos De Oliveira and his other co-defendant, Walt Nauta. Trump has slammed the charges as politically motivated.
The video begins with shots of President Joe Biden along with recent media headlines, including the Washington Examiner's article on how the Durham report revealed that the 46th president was briefed in 2016 about an alleged plan by Hillary Clinton to tie Trump to Russia to distract from her own use of an illicit private email server while secretary of state.— Trump War Room July 30, 2023
"What do you call someone this weak? Someone caught in a bribery scandal that made them millions, complicit in a government cover-up, and uses your government to get special deals for his family? You call them Joe Biden," the narrator says in the ad. "And acting just like a corrupt third world dictator, Biden has unleashed a cadre of unscrupulous government bureaucrats he controls to act like rabid wolves and attack his greatest threats, launching one of the greatest witch hunts in history."The former president has maintained he would not drop out of the 2024 race despite his legal woes.
"It wouldn't stop me," Trump said Friday morning about any possible sentencing. Trump has denied any wrongdoing, instead attacking Smith as"deranged" and deriding the indictments as"election interference."
