Description
Former President Donald Trump gave his first public speech this weekend since President Joe Biden warned Americans in a televised address that “Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” And how did Trump respond? By proving Biden 100% correct.
At his rally Saturday in Pennsylvania, Trump was not content to serve up more lies about the 2020 election that he lost. He did far worse: He used his platform to demonize the FBI, Justice Department and the federal magistrate who signed the warrant authorizing the August 8 search of his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. These are among the officials seeking the return of classified material and other government documents that Trump took with him when he left the White House.
Trump’s remarks are even more alarming given the unprecedented spike in threats against the FBI since the search of Mar-a-Lago. These threats have been so concerning that federal prosecutors recently asked a federal judge to redact the names of FBI agents and any others who provided relevant information to the bureau before publicly releasing an affidavit submitted in support of the search warrant.
