The owner of Twitter used his social network to ensure that the federal indictment for felonies facing Donald Trump by the Department of Justice risks causing mistrust in the American public.
The owner of Twitter Elon Musk considers the new indictment against Donald Trump by 37 federal crimes, for driving hundreds of classified White House documents to his Mar-a-Lago mansion after his term as president ended, leads to the Department of Justice at risk of losing the trust of the American public.
“There seems to be a lot more interest in going after
In addition, he added that “it is very important that the justice system reject what appears to be a different application or they will lose public trust”.
The tycoon's statements add to the reproaches that Trump has repeatedly leveled at the Department of Justice for not persecuting President Joe Biden in the same way, who was also found to have some packages of classified documents at his home in Delaware and a couple more at his ex-office in Washington.
“My lawyers have been informed by the corrupt Biden Administration that I have been indicted, apparently for the box hoax, despite the fact that Joe Biden has 1850 boxes at the University of Delaware, additional boxes in Chinatown, DC, and even more boxes at the University of Pennsylvania and documents scattered all over the floor of his parking lot where he parks his Corvette and which is secured only by a paper-thin door and is open most of the time,” he said Thursday for the afternoon Trump via Truth Social when he was informed of the allegation.
On Friday afternoon the office of the special prosecutor Jack Smith, who is leading the investigation of the documents classified documents, announced that the former president stored dozens of boxes throughout Mar-a-Lago, as in: “a ballroom, a bathroom and shower, an office space, your bedroom, and a storage room”.
The 49-page indictment filed in Miami federal court shows for the first time a broader look at where and how FBI agents found the classified documents.
This is the second indictment that Trump faces in less than two months. In April, the former president pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges filed by the United States district attorney Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, related to secret payments he made to porn model Stormy Daniels to silence her about his 2016 affair.
Trump is expected to appear in court next Tuesday.
