In a late-night post on December 27, 2023, former President Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to accuse President Joe Biden of non-cooperation in the Documents Case. Trump derisively referred to Biden as “Crooked Joe” and contested claims made by George Stephanopoulos on ABC News.
Trump alleged that Biden, in contrast to his own compliance with the Presidential Records Act during his tenure, had sent Classified Documents to various locations, including Chinatown in Washington, D.C. The former president questioned the motives behind such actions and emphasized that China had allegedly paid Biden millions. Trump sought to draw a distinction between himself, who adhered to the Presidential Records Act, and Biden, whom he accused of avoiding scrutiny under the same act.
Highlighting what he viewed as a biased narrative, Trump accused the “Fake News” and the “Radical Left Democrats” of collaborating to protect Biden. He argued that they were attempting to find a way to excuse Biden, whom he deemed “guilty as hell,” while simultaneously holding him, Trump, accountable for baseless allegations.
Concluding the post, Trump expressed confidence that this purported strategy by the media and Democrats would not succeed, asserting that the people of the country were too discerning to be swayed by what he characterized as a flawed and biased narrative. The language used in Trump’s statement reflects his ongoing disputes with the media and political opponents, and it echoes themes commonly found in his discourse during and after his presidency.
