Trump asks for calm… while he continues to add fuel to the fire – La Vanguardia

One of lime and three hundred of sand. That is how Donald Trump usually builds his political discourse. Thus, it is not uncommon for the former president to proclaim himself a firefighter while feeding the flames that he himself has lit. And this is just what he did on Monday in a statement to Fox News, his friend’s network. The Republican leader assured that his aides have communicated with the Department of Justice and the United States Attorney General’s Office in order to offer “everything we can do to help.” Because “the temperature has to drop,” he argued after days of attacks and threats against those responsible for the FBI after the search and seizure of the top secret documents that he kept in his residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

And immediately afterwards he insisted on his attacks against the police forces. Trump once again described the “witch hunt” operation of the FBI and the investigations of the Prosecutor’s Office for possible crimes of violation of the Espionage Law, obstruction of Justice and destruction of documents for the retention in his home of papers with highly sensitive content that were illegally taken from the White House. Terrible things are going to happen” if the escalation continues, says the Republican leader while justifying the “anger” of his own “People are very angry about what is happening,” he added. And “he will not tolerate another scam,” he said in a tone warning and with an implicit allusion to his thesis of fraud in the 2020 presidential elections. “The country is in a very dangerous position, there is tremendous anger, as I have not seen before, for all the scams,” Trump insisted. wow! In the FBI raid they stole my three passports along with everything else Donald TrumpFormer President of the United States Hours after the interview on Fox, the former president denounced this Monday that the FBI “stole” his three passports, one of them already expired, in the registry of his Florida mansion. “Wow! In the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago my three passports were stolen along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent on a level never seen before in our country. Third world!” in a message on his Truth Social network. The retention of passports constitutes a very common precautionary measure when investigating people accused of serious crimes. The objective is obviously to prevent them from trying to escape justice.
