Trump Refuses To Back Down, Slams Indictment As Election Interference: 'I AM BEING INDICTED FOR YOU!'

 On Wednesday morning, 45th President and leading 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump took to his top-rated social media platform, Truth Social, and slammed Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment of him as "election interference."

"Please remember that the only reason I was indicted (ELECTION INTERFERENCE) is because the Democrats don’t want to run against me," Trump wrote.

"They weaponized the DOJ & FBI. I am beating Crooked Joe Biden in virtually every poll, and easily beat him in the last election, but the election was RIGGED. In 2016 it was the same thing, spewed from the mouths of the same failed pundits and losers," Trump added.

"They said I couldn’t beat Hillary - How did that work out??? Doug Schoen of FoxNews should get a new playbook!" Trump continued.

In an additional post, Trump wrote, "IF I WASN’T RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, OR IF I WAS LOSING BADLY IN THE POLLS (I AM WINNING BY RECORD NUMBERS, & AGAINST BIDEN ALSO!), I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN FAKE INDICTED."

"LIKEWISE, IF THE VERY CORRUPT DEMOCRATS TRULY WANTED TO RUN AGAINST ME, I WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN INDICTED. IT IS ALL A BADGE OF HONOR & COURAGE. I AM BEING INDICTED FOR YOU," Trump added.

This comes after one of the two audio recordings of Trump from Special Counsel Jack Smith was leaked and published by CNN, which Fox News host Mark Levin said Smith should go to prison for.

"Help me with this: DOJ is prosecuting Trump for sharing information with a reporter, when DOJ itself shared the same information with CNN," Trump's United States Ambassador to Israel wrote in a tweet.

Trump, who was also frivolously indicted by far-left Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in March, was federally indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith last month.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all 37 fraudulent counts brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith relating to him supposedly “mishandling” classified documents.

But don't worry - Trump has the ultimate defense. Trump turned Jack Smith’s frivolous federal indictment of him on its head when he cited the Presidential Records Act as a defense.

The Presidential Records Act is a 1978 law that allows presidents to decide what records to keep and take, regardless of what the National Archives and Records Administration thinks.

Senior Attorney Michael Bekesha, a man who lost a case against former President Bill Clinton for taking White House audiotapes when he left office and kept them in his sock drawer, explains Clinton was safe because he was a president who saw it fit to take the documents before his term ended.

"The same is true with Mr. Trump," Bekesha writes in an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal.

He adds, "Mr. Trump, like Mr. Clinton, took those boxes with him when he left office. As of noon on Jan. 20, 2021, whatever remained at the White House was presidential records. Whatever was taken by Mr. Trump wasn’t. That was the position of the Justice Department in 2010 and the ruling by Judge Jackson in 2012."
