Washington (EFE).- The former president of the United States Donald Trump (2017-2021) promised that he will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the current president, Joe Biden, if he wins the 2024 presidential elections.
“I will appoint a special prosecutor for truth to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family,” Trump said during a campaign event in New Jersey, after being prosecuted in a court in Miami (Florida) for the case of classified documents.
The former president had already posted a similar message on his Truth Social account hours before his appearance in court.
In his speech on Tuesday, Trump repeated a series of insults against the US Department of Justice and against special prosecutor Jack Smith, in charge of the documents case.
The former president assured that Smith is dedicated to carrying out “political assassinations”, and that the Justice Department’s decision to prosecute him is politically motivated.
Trump fights back

Before heading to New Jersey, the former president stopped at a well-known Cuban cafe in the Little Havana neighborhood, where he was greeted by dozens of followers and journalists who reported the moment in which several supporters sang happy birthday to the former president. , who turns 77 years old tomorrow, Wednesday.
During his speech in New Jersey, Trump again heard chants of “happy birthday.” And he said that tomorrow’s celebration will be “the best of all.”
Trump today became the first US president or former president to face federal impeachment. He faces 37 counts for handling classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, his South Florida mansion, after leaving the White House.
