Former President Donald Trump on Monday questioned the impartiality of the Justice Department in carrying out the prosecution of the man accused of trying to assassinate him at a Florida golf course.
Mr. Trump said he didn’t trust the federal government that is prosecuting him to also prosecute accused assassin Ryan Wesley Routh, 58.
“The DOJ and FBI have a Conflict of Interest since they have been obsessed with ‘Getting Trump’ for so long,” Mr. Trump said in a statement. “It’s very difficult to trust the Biden/Harris DOJ/FBI to investigate the assassination attempts, due to Election Interference and the FAKE CASES brought against me, including their control over local D.A.s and A.G.s.”
Mr. Trump said federal prosecutors should step aside and “let Florida handle the case.”
Routh, a convicted felon, is in custody on two felony firearms violations. He was denied bail in a Miami federal court Monday, and prosecutors said they are preparing an additional federal charge of attempted assassination.
In separate cases, Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith charged Mr. Trump with interference in the 2020 election and storing classified documents at his home in Palm Beach, Florida. The former president also was convicted on felony business fraud charges in a hush-money case in New York and is facing felony charges in Fulton County, Georgia, related to election interference in 2020.

Well, I don’t either.
It’s all so corrupt...
Trump exposed all of these criminal in government. And the reason they want him dead.
He needs private security. Does he send the bill to the government?
Elon Musk is said to travel with 20 security personnel.
Roger that!
I’ve seen snapping turtles less intimidating...
...but they still make good eating.
Merrick ( the Fanatic) Garland.
Employ at your own risk!
Delusions of Grandeur, writ large.
And here I thought Eric,aka
Obama’s Wingman was bad.
This comment looks well crafted to win votes. It is quintessential Swamp draining talk, and it cries out to Independents that government is not trustworthy.
Uh….duh….
Eff the FIBS and the rest of the Deep State operatives.
I don’t trust them either. Perhaps they are in on the deal.
Swamp Creatures everywhere. I can imagine lots of coverup happening. Routh appears to have hidden contacts and resources.
Well duh!
That is a portrait of a true piece of sh!t! And not the cute emoji.
So Trump’s implication is his belief that the DOJ and FBI are complicit in the two attempted assassinations of him. Mr President, so do we.
Trump is a wise man. Needs to re-organize the FBI, CIA, SS. Fire em all and start over. Hire his own people. They serve at his pleasure after all.
More proof of Trump’s intelligence…
I don’t trust them either. I suspect they are already involved with them in some manner unrelated to ‘investigation after the fact’.
Of course not. He’d have to be a fool to trust them. So would all of us. They’ve spent years going well out of their way showing us they are nothing more than the STASI of the Democrat party. The DOJ needs to be cleaned out with a flamethrower. The FIB needs to be abolished.
The CIA and State Department and Pentagon all need the same treatment. OBLITERATE the senior ranks of all of them.
