Former US President Donald Trump said that the independent prosecutor appointed by the US Attorney General to supervise investigations involving him personally will not be investigated impartially, adding in a speech he delivered at his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida: “This terrible abuse of power is the latest in a long series of political pursuits that began since long time".
And he continued, “I have been subject to these investigations, to this farce, and to these tricks since the day I descended the escalator to Trump Tower, and we cannot allow these horrific violations to continue.”
The US Department of Justice appointed a war crimes prosecutor to conduct an independent investigation into Donald Trump, three days after the former Republican president announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election.
In a televised speech, Minister of Justice Merrick Garland announced that he had "assigned this very sensitive task to Jack Smith, a prosecutor of the Special Tribunal for Kosovo based in The Hague."
Trump considered, in an interview with the “Fox” network, that the appointment of an independent prosecutor to oversee two investigations against him was “unfair” and “politicized.”
Trump denounced "the worst politicization of justice in American history," stressing that he would not cooperate with investigators.
For his part, Garland considered that naming a special prosecutor is in the public interest of the United States, because both Trump and his Democratic successor, Joe Biden, have indicated their intention to run in 2024.
Garland added, "Based on recent developments, including former President Trump's announcement of his candidacy for president in the upcoming elections and current President Joe Biden's stated intent to also be a candidate, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint a special prosecutor."
The first investigation relates to Trump's efforts to change the results of the 2020 presidential elections, and the second to his management of the White House archives, and after the special prosecutor collects all the elements, he will give his professional judgment independently to decide whether there should be an indictment against Trump in one of those cases, according to Garland. .
The Special Prosecutor will be responsible only for making recommendations, with the decision left to the Minister.
And the White House announced that US President Joe Biden had not received prior notice of the appointment of an independent prosecutor by the Department of Justice to investigate his political rival Trump.
White House spokeswoman Karen Jean-Pierre said, "The president was not aware, we did not know, and we did not receive advance notice of Jack Smith's appointment to handle two investigations related to the former US president."
The White House confirmed that the Biden administration will not politicize the judiciary in the case of appointing a prosecutor to investigate Trump.
Jean-Pierre said, "We did not interfere in this matter. We are not involved in criminal investigations. The president was very clear.. This administration will not politicize the judiciary."
In addition, the owner of the “Twitter” network, Elon Musk, launched a survey to find out the opinions of users regarding the reactivation of Trump’s account on “Twitter”.
Trump had announced his intention not to return to the micro-blogging site, preferring to continue the activity on his private network, "Truth Social", which he launched after his exclusion from "Twitter".
