Donald Trump stressed that the new indictment against him is "reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union and other authoritarian and dictatorial regimes." The former president directly accused Joe Biden of being behind the allegations trying to remove him from the presidential race by using the "weaponized Justice Department" to interfere in the election. In addition, the mogul threw out the question of "why was it announced the day after the big Crooked Joe Biden scandal broke out from the Halls of Congress?"
In a statement, the campaign team of the current favorite to represent the Republican Party in the next presidential election insisted on Trump's innocence, as well as on the the Biden administration’s use of federal institutions to eliminate his biggest rival for the White House in 2024.
This is nothing more than the latest corrupt chapter in the continued pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election, in which President Trump is the undisputed frontrunner, and leading by substantial margins.
Likewise, Trump again accused the president of choosing the moment to charge him to "interfere" in the presidential elections, instead of having carried out the investigations two and a half years ago, when the events happened, or even a little later, when Biden took office. Trump asserted that this was "reminiscent of Nazi Germany" and other dictatorial regimes:
The answer is, election interference! The lawlessness of these persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union, and other authoritarian, dictatorial regimes. President Trump has always followed the law and the Constitution, with advice from many highly accomplished attorneys.
Trump indicated that he will end this situation when he returns to power in 2024.
These un-American witch hunts will fail and President Trump will be re-elected to the White House so he can save our Country from the abuse, incompetence, and corruption that is running through the veins of our Country at levels never seen before. Three years ago we had strong borders, energy independence, no inflation, and a great economy. Today, we are a nation in decline. President Trump will not be deterred by disgraceful and unprecedented political targeting!
The reaction from Republican candidates
Trump’s rivals in the Republican primary are divided. While Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy point to the Biden administration's persecution and weaponization of insititutions, Mike Pence, Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson charged against the former president on social media.
As President, I will end the weaponization of government, replace the FBI Director, and ensure a single standard of justice for all Americans.
While I’ve seen reports, I have not read the indictment. I do, though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right…

Today's indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States.

The corrupt federal police just won’t stop until they’ve achieved their mission: eliminate Trump. This is un-American & I commit to pardoning Trump for this indictment.

The events around the White House from election night forward are a stain on our country’s history & a disgrace to the people who participated. This disgrace falls the most on Donald Trump. He swore an oath to the Constitution, violated his oath & brought shame to his presidency.
— Chris Christie (@GovChristie) August 2, 2023
Let me be crystal clear: Trump's presidential bid is driven by an attempt to stay out of prison and scam his supporters into footing his legal bills. Furthermore, his denial of the 2020 election results and actions on Jan. 6 show he's unfit for office.

Reaction from conservative congressmen
We’ve recently learned:
• Hunter received money from China (contradicting President Biden’s claim)
• President Biden spoke with Hunter’s business associates over 20 times (contradicting what Biden previously claimed)
• Biden’s DOJ tried to secretly give Hunter broad immunity…— Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) August 1, 2023
I STAND WITH TRUMP!!!
The politicized and weaponized DOJ is now committing election interference with this outrageous conspiracy theory set in motion to persecute President Trump and many innocent people.

President Trump did nothing wrong!
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 1, 2023
We've become completely accustomed to seeing President Trump indicted for "crimes" while Joe Biden skirts the law every single day.
No politically-motivated indictment is going to change my mind.
TRUMP 2024 NOW MORE THAN EVER.
