On Tuesday, leading Republican presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump posted a video to Truth Social and X/Twitter to condemn the Department of Justice's lack of action against 'America's Greatest Dictator," Joe Biden, after they found classified documents hailed from his time as vice president and senator of Delaware in his personal residence and workplace. Trump's condemnation of the DOJ comes after Special Counsel Jack Smith brought an indictment against the former president for storing classified documents that he took during his presidency to Mar-a-Lago.
After discovering Biden's classified documents earlier this year, the Department of Justice appointed Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate the matter. However, he is expected not to charge anyone in the probe, according to sources familiar with the matter, per CNN. Hur and his team are reportedly preparing a lengthy report to heavily criticize Biden and his team for mishandling classified material, given that Biden cooperated with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) when Biden's legal team found the classified materials in his possession.
In a Truth Social post, Trump initially blasted the report, writing, "WOW! FAKE NEWS CNN, THROUGH A LEAK FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE, HAS JUST REPORTED THAT NO CHARGES WILL BE FILED IN THE (MUCH BIGGER THAN MINE!!!) CROOKED JOE BIDEN DOCUMENTS CASE. WE ARE LIVING IN A VERY CORRUPT COUNTRY!"
Trump doubled down on this accusation and called Biden a dictator alongside a video statement. "Wow, fake news CNN, through a leak from the Department of Injustice, has just reported that no charges will be filed in the much bigger than mine Crooked Joe Biden case having to do with documents. You know that case. And you take a look at what's happened there. We are living in a very, very corrupt country," Trump said. "So no charges are going to be filed against him, but on mine, where I have all sorts of immunities and all sorts of protections, he doesn't because he wasn't president then. They go after me, but they don't go after him. We are living in a very corrupt country."
WATCH:
While Trump blasts the double-sidedness of America's justice system, he has gotten some good news in the classified documents case brought by Jack Smith in Florida. Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing the classified documents trial, delayed the upcoming May trial to provide Trump's legal team more time to review the evidence. Given the subject of the trial, every lawyer involved needed to get a security clearance in order to review the thousands of classified documents, over one million unclassified documents, and thousands of hours of footage from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
"I'm having a hard time seeing how this work can be accomplished realistically in this period of time," Cannon said in early November. "I'm not seeing in your position a level of understanding of these realities."
