When we spoke, Trump had just landed in Miami from Newark. An hour or so earlier, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa had taken to the floor of the US Senate. He had shared new details about what would undoubtedly be the first probe Trump’s second-term special prosecutor would undertake.
Donald Trump was arraigned yesterday amid great fanfare in federal court in Miami. But he’s already planning his response, as he told me on my radio show Monday night.
On his Truth Social account, Trump had promised, in all capital letters, that if re-elected, he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate “THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY.”
I asked him how serious he was about such a plan.
“Well, they’ve opened up the box.”
A lot of the news about Biden’s dodgy dealings was known back in 2020 – think Hunter Biden’s laptop and all his prodigious documentation of payoffs to “the Big Guy.” But Trump’s attorney general, blubbery Bill Barr, got the vapors whenever he considered going after his fellow travelers in the Deep State.
“Look, Bill Barr is a weak coward and he didn’t want to do anything on this,” Trump said, referring to Democrat corruption in the executive branch. “And yet, in many ways, a lot of people, including me, said you know I get it. Because you don’t want to go after sitting presidents and vice presidents, so I sorta got it.
“But now they’ve opened up the Pandora’s box… Now we can do it because now the box has been opened. The Pandora’s box has been opened and it’s wide open so I’m allowed to do that. People will say now we get it.”
