United States: Donald Trump has contended that President Joe Biden transgressed a “hallowed threshold” of unlawfulness concerning purportedly supporting legal action against him.

The erstwhile leader vehemently criticized the current incumbent in a scathing post on his social media platform, Truth Social, amidst facing numerous federal indictments.

He articulated, “At what juncture do the deeds of a seated president, utilizing LAWFARE against his adversary for the sake of electoral Intrusion, become deemed UNLAWFUL? I posit, as do sundry profoundly esteemed legal pundits, that Corrupt Joe Biden has long surpassed that exceedingly sacred threshold!!!”

While Trump endeavors to attribute the indictments to the president, the allegations against him have been instigated by grand juries in Georgia, Washington DC, Florida, and Manhattan, as per Newsweek.

Newsweek has reached out to representatives for both Trump and Biden via electronic mail for commentary on this narrative.

Trump, the anticipated Republican nominee for the November presidential election, is confronting two federal indictments, which he has persistently contended are politically driven and contrived to impede his reelection endeavors in 2024.

One pertains to a federal lawsuit filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith alleging that he endeavored to overturn the outcomes of the 2020 election, clinched by Biden. He stands accused of conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to impede an official proceeding, obstructing a congressional proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Another legal action accuses Trump of falsifying commercial records regarding purported hush-money disbursements made to erstwhile adult film luminary Stormy Daniels to cloak an alleged liaison in the weeks preceding his 2016 election triumph. Prosecutors spearheaded by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg assert the payments were part of a stratagem to forestall potentially detrimental narratives about the Republican from surfacing.

Trump has frequently censured the Democrat for having “weaponized” the FBI and the Department of Justice through such judicial maneuvers, Newsweek reported.

In September, he alleged Biden had “commenced a completely novel Banana Republic” regarding his political crusades.

“The Unscrupulous Joe Biden Campaign has levied so many Indictments and litigations against me that Republicans are already contemplating our retaliatory measures against Biden and the communists when it’s our turn,” Trump inscribed on Truth Social.

“They have initiated a completely novel Banana Republic approach to political campaigns. So paltry and sordid, but that’s the current state of America. Exercise caution in your desires!”

In another missive, Trump impugned Biden’s cadre for “electoral intrusion” vis-à-vis the ongoing and unprecedented judicial dilemmas the erstwhile president is confronting.

“The spurious Indictments and litigations against me, 8 in total, all emanate from the Biden campaign for electoral intrusion intents,” Trump penned. “This is their fresh modus operandi for rigging the election, and it will not endure. The fascists & Marxists are demolishing our erstwhile great nation, but we shall prevail and restore America’s Greatness!!” the reports by Newsweek outlined.

In October, he issued a warning to the Democrats regarding the indictments.

In entirety, Trump is confronting four criminal indictments and a cumulative of 91 felony charges. He has repudiated any malfeasance.
