Donald Trump Jr. and other Trump allies pivot indictment news to Biden criticism

Donald Trump Jr. and other top associates of Donald Trump are using news of the former president's federal indictment in the documents case to bring up recent allegations made against Joe Biden.

While some Democrats have questioned whether the allegations of Biden accepting a bribe were made to distract attention away from the senior Trump's own legal troubles, his son had a different theory after news of the indictment broke.

"On the same day that a story broke about a whistleblower alleging Joe Biden took a 5 million dollar bribe from Burisma in Ukraine, Biden's corrupt DOJ decides to indict Trump over BS charges," he wrote on Twitter. "Do you really think that's a coincidence??"

Trump Jr. further claimed in a follow-up tweet that, "We have a Two-Tiered Justice System in America under Biden and his corrupt DOJ!"

Those sentiments were echoed by House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, who said the new indictment was a "politically motivated indictment of Joe Biden's leading political opponent."

"The exact same day that the FBI is forced to turn over to Congress absolutely damning and credible allegations regarding Joe Biden's illegal, egregious, and treasonous corruption, Joe Biden weaponizes his Department of Justice to indict Donald Trump," Stefanik wrote.

She further added that the American people "are smart and understand that this is the epitome of the illegal and unprecedented weaponization of the federal government against Joe Biden's leading opponent, President Donald J. Trump."

"The radical Far Left will stop at nothing to interfere with the 2024 election in order to prop up the catastrophic presidency and desperate campaign of Joe Biden," Stefanik said Thursday.

She concluded by saying that she is "committed to ending the corrupt political weaponization of our federal government, cutting the rot in these agencies, and holding government officials accountable for their endless illegal witch hunt against President Trump. In 2024, we will vote like this country has never seen before and we will elect President Trump back to the White House to save America."
