One of lime and three hundred of sand. That is how Donald Trump usually builds his political discourse. Thus, it is not uncommon for the former president to proclaim himself a firefighter while feeding the flames that he himself has lit. And this is just what he did on Monday in a statement to Fox News, his friend's network.
The Republican leader assured that his aides have communicated with the Department of Justice and Attorney General of the United States in order to offer "everything we can do to help." Because "the temperature has to drop," he argued after days of attacks and threats against those responsible for the FBI after the search and seizure of the top secret documents that he kept in his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
If this cooling of spirits is not achieved, "terrible things are going to happen," the former president warned. And immediately after, he insisted on his attacks against the police forces.
Trump again described the FBI operation and the investigations by the Prosecutor's Office as a "witch hunt" for possible crimes of violation of the Espionage Law, obstruction of Justice and destruction of documents due to the retention in his house of papers with highly sensitive content. sensitive material that was illicitly removed from the White House.
“People are very angry about what is happening,” he added. And "he will not tolerate another scam," she said in an admonitory tone and with an implicit allusion to her thesis of fraud in the 2020 presidential elections.
"The country is in a very dangerous position, there is tremendous anger, as I have not seen before, for all the scams," Trump insisted.
Hours after the interview on Fox, the former president denounced on Monday that the FBI "stole" his three passports, one of them already expired, in the registry of his Florida mansion.
"Wow! In the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago my three passports were stolen along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent on a level never seen before in our country. Third world!" in a message on his Truth Social network.
The retention of passports constitutes a very common precautionary measure when investigating people accused of serious crimes. The objective is obviously to prevent them from trying to escape from the action of justice.
