The attacks continue to be particularly virulent between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The former US president called his successor an “enemy of the state” in front of his supporters, also criticizing the FBI’s search of his Florida residence, during a campaign rally for the midterm elections on Saturday evening in Pennsylvania.
In front of the crowd, the Republican thus responded to the attacks of Joe Biden, who had affirmed two days earlier that Donald Trump “and the” Republicans MAGA “” (Make america great again) represented “an extremism which threatens the very foundations of our Republic “. “His speech was only hatred and anger”, denounced the former president, accusing Joe Biden of having portrayed his supporters as “threats to democracy” and “enemies of the state”.
“The Shameful Raid” at Mar-a-Lago
“The enemy of the state is him, and the group that controls him,” continued Donald Trump, in this key state of Pennsylvania for the midterm elections on November 8, where the control of the two chambers will be in play.
During his first public appearance since a spectacular FBI search of his Florida residence on August 8 at Mar-a-Lago, he further claimed that this investigative act constituted “the most striking example of the very threats to American freedom” and one of “the most shocking abuses of power by any administration in American history. “The shameful raid and raid on my house in Mar-a-Lago was a travesty of justice,” insisted the former president, who openly flirts with a new candidacy in 2024.
The FBI had carried out this search because it suspects the ex-president of illegally keeping confidential documents from his mandate at the White House (2017-2021). Federal investigators believe that among the 30 boxes seized are top secret documents “probably hidden” to hinder the investigation, says a document from the Department of Justice.
