Former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump spoke exclusively with Fox News about the latest charges being brought by Jack Smith in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents probe.
Trump calls the new charges “abuse” and “election interference.”
“Trump, who is atop the 2024 GOP presidential primary field, was charged Thursday with an additional count of willful retention of national defense information and two new obstruction counts as part of a new ‘superseding’ indictment out of Smith’s investigation into his alleged improper retention of classified records,” Fox News reports.
“It’s election interference at the highest level,” Trump told Fox News Digital just after he learned of the latest indictment. “They’re harassing my company, they’re harassing my family and by far, least importantly of all, they’re harassing me.”
Trump told Fox News Digital that “the charges are ridiculous, and they know it better than anyone.”
“This is prosecutorial misconduct used at a level never seen before,” Trump said. “If I weren’t leading Biden by a lot in numerous polls, and wasn’t going to be the Republican nominee, it wouldn’t be happening. It wouldn’t be happening.”
He added: “But I am way up as a Republican and way up in the general election and this is what you get.”
Trump told Fox News Digital that “our country is suffering from DOJ abuse.”
Hopefully, the Republican Party will do something about it,” he said.
Trump is up between 40 and 50 points (depending on the poll) in the race for the GOP nomination.
