President Donald Trump accused the Department of Justice of former president Joe Biden of transforming the agency into “department of injustice”, while they were looking to transform the United States into a “corrupt communist” country.
“Our predecessors have transformed this Ministry of Justice into the Ministry of Injustice,” Trump said at the Ministry of Justice on Friday. “But I am in front of you today to declare that these days are over and that they will never come back.”
Trump has regularly castigated the Ministry of Justice and the FBI since his first mandate to be corrupt, in the midst of several surveys and prosecution against him. The FBI investigated Trump and its 2016 campaign for alleged collusion with Russia, which ultimately found no evidence that the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the outcome of the elections.
More recently, Trump has been the subject of a legal examination after former prosecutor General Merrick Garland called on former special lawyer Jack Smith to conduct Trump’s alleged efforts to cancel the results of the elections in 2020, and Trump’s efforts to obtain documents allegedly classified in Mar-A-Lago after his first mandate as president.
“They tried to transform America into a communist country and the third corrupt world, but ultimately, the thugs failed and the truth won,” said Trump. “Freedom has won, the judge won, democracy won. And above all, the American people won.”
“There could be no heinous betrayal of American values than using the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the bad guys,” said Trump. “And that is what they did at a level that has never been seen before. And that’s exactly what you saw with Joe Biden, Merrick Garland and their friends to do the building in the past four years. They have torn apart what they have torn is incalculable.”
A spokesperson for Biden did not immediately respond to a request for comments from Fox News Digital.
