So, there’s this article I read about Trump going off on a rant about a “sham” federal indictment that he claims is just a way for people to interfere with the election. He called it the “most heinous abuse of power” in US history. I mean, can he ever just let things go?
Basically, what happened is that one of his former advisors, Steve Bannon, was indicted for fraud and money laundering charges related to a fundraising campaign for the border wall. Trump is freaking out because he thinks this is just a way for the Democrats to try and hurt his chances at re-election.
Personally, I think he’s just scared that these charges will lead to something bigger and potentially cause more damage to his reputation. It’s always a bit suspicious when someone freaks out this much about an indictment that’s supposedly “fake news.”
But, either way, it’s important to keep an eye on these kinds of things. It’s never good when someone in a position of power tries to manipulate the justice system for their own gain. Hopefully justice will prevail and the truth will come out, no matter what side you’re on.
