Donald Trump’s legal issues just got much trickier after Special Counsel Jack Smith added three new charges, two counts of obstruction-of-justice and a felony count under the Espionage Act, to his classified documents indictment. Things aren’t looking great for the former president when it comes to his mounting legal woes, but he’s not really interested in accepting accountability at the moment.
Instead, Donald Trump spoke with Fox News Digital to rant and rave about the mess he got himself into, but of course, it’s not his fault. “It’s election interference at the highest level,” he complained. “They’re harassing my company, they’re harassing my family and by far, least importantly of all, they’re harassing me.” Calling the charges “ridiculous,” he believes that Smith is engaging in “prosecutorial misconduct.”
The former president also brought up the 2024 election as a reason for the indictments since he’s currently leading the way as the Republican Party candidate. “If I weren’t leading Biden by a lot in numerous polls, and wasn’t going to be the Republican nominee, it wouldn’t be happening. It wouldn’t be happening,” Donald Trump continued. “But I am way up as a Republican and way up in the general election and this is what you get.”
