Former President Donald Trump on Monday vowed to appoint his own special counsel to indict President Joe Biden in retaliation for special counsel Jack Smith's indictment of Trump on Espionage Act charges.
In a furious all-caps rant on his Truth Social network, the former president put Biden on notice that he was not going to escape unscathed after leaving the White House.
"NOW THAT THE 'SEAL' IS BROKEN... I WILL APPOINT A REAL SPECIAL “PROSECUTOR” TO GO AFTER THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA, JOE BIDEN, THE ENTIRE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY, & ALL OTHERS INVOLVED WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ELECTIONS, BORDERS, & COUNTRY ITSELF!" the former president ranted.
In fact, Biden did not appoint a special counsel to "go after" Trump.

Rather, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith shortly after Trump announced his presidential run to create separation between the DOJ and the investigation of a former president.
The investigation into Trump's handling of top-secret government documents became public last year after the FBI executed a search warrant at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort and removed several boxes full of highly sensitive information that Trump claimed to have returned to the government upon its request.
Trump is now the first president to have been impeached on two separate occasions and to have been indicted in two separate jurisdictions after the end of his presidency.
