At around 2 a.m. local time, Donald Trump published another item about his ongoing criminal trail to his social media platform, and while most of it was conspiratorial nonsense, there was one small detail in the former president’s message that stood out. The conservative Washington Times reported: For the record, there’s literally no evidence of President Joe Biden being “crooked” or having anything whatsoever to do with his predecessor’s prosecutions.

’” A month after that, as another criminal indictment neared, the former president again looked to Capitol Hill for some kind of rescue. “REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS MUST MAKE THIS THEIR # 1 ISSUE!!!” Trump wrote. A month after that, he again begged GOP lawmakers to “stop” prosecutors’ cases in order to “save our country.” Two months after that, Trump appeared at a rally and said congressional Republicans “cannot let” his prosecutions continue.
