Donald Trump declared that the single gravest threat to “our civilization” was the Justice Dept., which has been investigating criminal charges against him. Democrats believe they will ultimately benefit from Trump’s claims of a grand conspiracy.
Democrats say they will ultimately benefit from Trump’s decision to embrace claims of a grand conspiracy against him. They point to the results of the midterm elections, which broadly rejected candidates who embraced conspiratorial legal theories pushed by Trump.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has sued Trump and his company for financial fraud. Fani T. Willis, the district attorney in Fulton County, Ga., has convened a separate grand jury to investigate alleged attempts by Trump to subvert the 2020 election result, including a recorded call in which Trump asked a Georgia official to “find” the votes he needed to win.
The Biden administration has been doing what it can to demonstrate that the investigations into Trump are not political. The White House declined to comment Friday on the appointment of Jack Smith, a former chief of the Justice Department’s public integrity section who has most recently worked in Europe as a war crimes prosecutor.“DOJ makes decisions about its criminal investigations independently, and we are not involved,” a White House official said in a statement.
“3 days ago, Trump announced and now a special counsel,” he tweeted. “This is Trump derangement syndrome but this time with a gun and a badge.”
