In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump reacted strongly to the news that Special Counsel Jack Smith has named him a target in the January 6th Capitol riot investigation. Trump expressed his concern, stating that receiving such a letter often precedes an arrest and indictment. He criticized the Justice Department, labeling it a "weapon" for Democrats and condemning the investigation as "election interference." Trump believes the timing of the investigation is politically motivated, designed to disrupt the upcoming 2024 election.

The former president also highlighted the ongoing investigation into President Biden's handling of classified documents, emphasizing the Presidential Records Act's relevance to his own case. He criticized Smith as a "deranged prosecutor" and reiterated his belief that the DOJ has become a tool for political attacks. Trump also mentioned past investigations, including the Russia collusion probe and the hush-money payments case in New York, emphasizing his innocence in these matters.

Trump defended his decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey, asserting it exposed corruption within the agency. He also expressed disappointment in the Secret Service's handling of the White House cocaine incident and criticized the Biden family's international business dealings, alleging a conflict of interest for the current president. Trump questioned why President Biden hasn't faced impeachment proceedings for these allegations, contrasting it with his own two impeachments, from which he was acquitted.
