Trump made the pledge at a South Carolina political rally on Saturday in Pickens, South Carolina.
The 45th president made similar comments on his Truth Social platform in June, where he referred to Biden as “the most corrupt president in US history.” He expressed his intention to take legal action against Biden and “the entire Biden crime family.”
“I will appoint an actual special prosecutor 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 at his golf club in Bedminster, NJ. “I will totally wipe out the deep state.”
While much of Trump’s speech in South Carolina covered familiar territory, including tougher immigration laws and warnings of the country’s decline, he also highlighted the criminal charges he faces stemming from the politicized prosecutions of the Biden’s Department of Justice.
In addition to an ongoing indictment on fraud charges in New York, to which Trump pleaded not guilty earlier this year, he also defended himself against charges related to the classified documents case at Mar-a-Lago. Trump argued that his possession of the classified documents was protected by the Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978. He cited a 2012 lawsuit involving former President Bill Clinton, where Clinton’s lawyers invoked the PRA to seek recordings of sensitive phone calls. He also noted that Biden possessed numerous classified documents in various unsecured locations, including the garage of a home in Wilmington, Delaware, that were taken when he was vice president and did not have final declassification authority.
Trump also hinted at the impending indictment of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, accusing him of trying to influence Georgia election officials to overturn his 2020 loss in the state. Trump blasted Atlanta as “more dangerous than Chicago” and defended the legitimacy of his phone calls, saying they were “perfect.” He argued that the calls could not be used against him because of a Florida statute that required consent from both parties to record telephone conversations.
Trump expressed his frustration, claiming that Georgia authorities were not holding others accountable, but only targeting him. He used strong language, stating that they were “letting them get away with their murder.”
