The comments were condemned by the White House and Joe Biden’s campaign team.
“In contrast to echoing the horrific rhetoric of fascists, lunching with neo-Nazis, and fueling conspiracy theories that cost the lives of brave police officers, President Biden is rallying the American people around our shared democratic values and the rule of law,” said White House spokesman Andrew Bates.
Joe Biden’s campaign team earlier in a press release slammed the Republican candidate’s atrocities: “Trump’s campaign revolves around him, his anger, his revenge and his lies.”
In front of an audience of Republican executives and donors, their nominee for the November election accused Democrats of “running a Gestapo administration” on Saturday and again vilified the lawyers prosecuting the cases against him, according to quoted comments. by the media.
The statements were made during a 90-minute speech at his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida, according to an audio recording provided by the campaign donor to US media.
He has been arraigned in New York since April 15, targeted in four separate criminal proceedings.
The White House has denied any involvement in the ongoing legal proceedings.
