After having his day in court, Donald Trump former US president vehemently criticized the ongoing criminal proceedings against him, which moved into the next stage with the opening speeches on Monday. Politico also quotes the ex-president, who said that “it’s all Biden’s doing.”
This is all political persecution and interference in elections on a level we have never seen before
– added the politician facing criminal proceedings initiated in four cases, 88 charges.
In addition, the Republican standard-bearer, if restrained,
defended House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Against Johnson are three representatives of the radical wing of the Republicans, headed by them Marjorie Taylor Greenewith, he put into perspective the initiation of removal proceedings, because lately, the speaker has usually passed bills through the lower house with the help of the democrats. Among them was the aid package supporting Ukraine, which further incited the opposition of his hard-line party members.
Trump in his current interview he praised the speaker for voting part of the Ukrainian aid in the form of a loan, and repeated that it is time for Europe to reach deeper into its pockets. Evaluating the situation in the House of Representatives, he said that they have a one-man majority, which is why, referring to Johnson, he continued:
It’s not like you can do whatever you want. I think he is a very good person. You know, he stood by me very strongly on NATO when I said that NATO should pay… I think he’s trying very hard
– declared the former president, going against the fierce attacks on Johnson by a part of the Republicans.
