Trump Says He’s Been Indicted Again

August 1, 2023 at 4:49 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he’s been indicted again.

“I hear that Deranged Jack Smith, in order to interfere with the Presidential Election of 2024, will be putting out yet another Fake Indictment of your favorite President, me, at 5:00 P.M. Why didn’t they do this 2.5 years ago? Why did they wait so long? Because they wanted to put it right in the middle of my campaign. Prosecutorial Misconduct!”
