“Shocking!” Trump posted in the first of the all-caps messages. “One of the top prosecutors at the department of injustice was reportedly so obsessed with ‘getting Trump’ that he tried to bribe & intimidate a lawyer representing someone being targeted & harassed to falsely accuse & fabricate a story about President Donald J. Trump & a crime that doesn’t exist.
“This criminal & salacious act within the DOJ has brought shame & embarrassment to this once great & respected institution. Because of this, there is now extreme turmoil inside the DOJ,” he added.
In the second post, Trump claimed that “a top overzealous & dishonest DOJ prosecutor offered a witness’ lawyer and important ‘judgeship’ in the Biden administration if his client ‘flips’ on President Trump, who has done nothing wrong!”
[This came up in the meeting between Trump’s attorney and the DoJ this week, reportedly. Trump’s lawyers wanted a separate investigation into this before the special counsel proceeds with any indictment, and the DoJ responded that they would investigate this in parallel [updated to clarify the difference]. The leaks from the DoJ side claim that the Biden administration had already made clear that the witness in question was under consideration for a judicial appointment and that the investigators only made a reference to it in their questioning. It’s certainly worth watching; don’t be surprised if the House Oversight or House Judiciary committees look into it as well. — Ed]
