Jack Smith, Donald Trump (Smith photo by Robin Van Lonkhuijsen for AFP/ Trump by Saul Loeb for AFP)
Donald Trump on Thursday asked on his Truth Social platform when "deranged Jack Smith" and others will drop the federal indictment against him and apologize.
In an all-caps rant, Trump insists that the Presidential Records Act and "the Clinton Socks case" have "totally exonerated" him from the "continuing witch hunt."
"SO NOW THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT, PLUS THE CLINTON SOCKS CASE, TOTALLY EXONERATED ME FROM THE CONTINUING WITCH HUNT BROUGHT ON BY CORRUPT JOE BIDEN, THE DOJ, DERANGED JACK SMITH, AND THEIR RADICAL LEFT, MARXIST THUGS, WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO DROP ALL CHARGES AGAINST ME, APOLOGIZE, AND RETURN EVERYTHING THAT WAS ILLEGALLY TAKEN (FOURTH AMENDMENT) FROM MY HOME? THIS WAS NOTHING OTHER THAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!" the former president posted on his social network.
He followed it up with a new post in which he said simply, "PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT AT A LEVEL SELDOM SEEN IN OUR COUNTRY BEFORE!"
There is no formal indication that Trump's arguments have been accepted by "everyone" or that Smith and his team agree with Trump's characterization.
