“He’s an enemy of the state,” the Republican billionaire told the crowd, responding to sharp attacks from Joe Biden, who two days earlier said Donald Trump “and Republicans represent extremism that threatens the foundation of our republic.”
“His speech is nothing but hate and anger,” Donald Trump condemned, adding that Mr. Biden accused his supporters of portraying them as “threats to democracy” and “enemies of the state.”
“The enemy of the state is him and the caucus that controls him,” the former president continued in the Nov. 8 midterm elections in the key state of Pennsylvania, where control of both chambers will be at stake.
In his first public appearance since the FBI’s spectacular Aug. 8 raid on his Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, he said the investigative act was “a stark example of the very real threats facing Americans’ liberties.” “The most shocking abuse of power by any administration in American history”.
“The disgraceful raid and raid at my home in Mar-a-Lago was a travesty of justice,” insisted the former president, who has openly flirted with a new candidate in 2024.
The FBI conducted the search because it suspected the former president of illegally possessing classified documents from his tenure in the White House (2017-2021).
Federal investigators believe the 30 boxes seized contained classified documents that were “disguised” to hinder the investigation, according to a Justice Department document.
