Trump Rips DOJ Indictments As ‘Empty And Lawless’ As Cases Dropped
HuffPost
Special counsel Jack Smith, however, said the federal government continues to stand “fully behind” the merits of its original prosecution against Trump.
President-elect Donald Trump tore into the felony criminal cases that had been filed against him by special counsel Jack Smith, calling them “empty and lawless,” after Smith requested to drop the cases Monday due to Trump soon taking office.
In a two-part post on Truth Social, Trump slammed the indictments against him related to his handling of classified documents and the 2020 election’s certification as a waste of taxpayers’ money.
“These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought. Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME,” he wrote.
“It was a political hijacking, and a low point in the History of our Country that such a thing could have happened, and yet, I persevered, against all odds, and WON,” he continued.
A Trump spokesperson also separately hailed the Justice Department’s decision as a “major victory for the rule of law.”
