“They’ve weaponized the government, the Justice Department, local district attorneys, and attorney generals,” Trump said, pointing to his own experiences with legal battles across multiple states. He highlighted his victory in a high-profile Florida case, calling Special Counsel Jack Smith a “deranged lunatic” for pushing his investigations too far.
Trump also expressed his outrage over the treatment of his allies, like Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, who faced prison sentences for contempt of Congress charges. “What they’ve done is just… nobody thought it was possible,” Trump added, vowing not to follow the same path if he wins the presidency again but calling the current administration’s actions unprecedented.
