In a fiery response to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s recent allegations, Donald Trump is hitting back hard, denying that he ever ordered the deletion of security footage at his Mar-a-Lago residence. Trump took to his Truth Social media account to assert that the tapes were indeed handed over and that Smith’s claims are nothing more than “prosecutorial fiction.” He further criticized the classified documents case and likened it to the debunked Russia Collusion conspiracy theory. Trump also highlighted the double standard in the justice system, pointing out the lack of charges against President Joe Biden, who he claimed illegally held onto classified documents. Despite some GOP voters wanting to move on from Trump and seek alternatives like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, his base remains steadfast in their support. Trump’s poll numbers for the GOP nomination continue to soar, as Americans perceive a biased and unfair justice system that protects certain individuals while targeting others. Regardless of personal opinions about Trump, there is growing concern about the unprecedented actions of Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice.
