Former President Donald Trump said Saturday on Truth Social that a statement by Jack Smith shows he is being directed and controlled by President Joe Biden in his prosecution of Trump.
“While Crooked Joe Biden and his Cronies have claimed from the outset they have nothing to do with Jack Smith’s Election Interference case against me, Smith himself admitted in a Court Filing yesterday that he ‘remains subject to Attorney General direction and supervision,’ and that includes Biden,” Trump wrote in a post.
The statement from Smith said that he was retained from outside the DOJ “to ‘ensure a full and thorough investigation.'”
“While he remains subject to attorney general direction and supervision, he also retains ‘a substantial degree of independent decisionmaking'[…]and is not part of the regular department chain of command or ‘subject to the day-to-day supervision of any official of the department,” the statement read.
“Although he denies it, [Attorney General Merrick] Garland is carrying out the orders from his boss to prosecute me, and to interfere in the 2024 Election,” Trump said.
The case against Trump pertains to Trump’s alleged misuse of classified documents, a charge that special prosecutor Richard Hur declined to make against Biden even though he did virtually the exact same thing.
