Topline
Former President Donald Trump threatened to appoint a “real special ‘prosecutor’” to target President Joe Biden if he is reelected president, in his latest Truth Social rant since he was indicted by the Justice Department last week over his handling of classified documents—a case Trump and his GOP allies have characterized as a politically motivated attack designed to thwart Trump’s reelection chances.

Trump, calling Biden “the most corrupt president in the history of the USA,”
said he would use a special prosecutor to
“go after” the president and “the entire Biden crime family”
in a post on Truth Social as he traveled to Miami ahead of his Tuesday court appearance in the federal case.
The threat builds on Trump’s and his Republican allies’ narrative to cast the documents probe as an act of political bias by Biden, who oversees the Justice Department and Attorney General Merrick Garland, even though he appointed a special prosecutor to handle the case against Trump to avoid the perception of political interference and a grand jury voted to indict the ex-president.
Trump accused Biden of lying when he said he never spoke to Garland about the Trump case, writing, “Crooked Joe & his thugs are destroying America!” while equating the probe to “election interference at a level never seen before in our country!”
