Trump argues sworn declarations by FBI agents can’t be trusted because they lie ‘all the time’

The former President of the United States accused the Federal Bureau of Investigation of extensively lying in a social media outburst.

Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to cast doubt on FBI agents after special counsel Jack Smith was charged with investigating the Mar-a-Lago documents case, Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and the obstruction of justice.

"Nobody should ever be interviewed by the FBI without making a recording of the interview," Trump, who is not an attorney, counseled.

"The FBI doesn’t want recorded interviews because that way they can make up statements as to what was said - happens all the time," Trump alleged.

"Our corrupt 'justice' system is at work today like never before," he alleged.

In August, Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination at least 440 times when being interviewed by the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James.
