Former President Donald Trump recently gave a post-indictment interview with Roger Stone, the man he freed from prison and called for his supporters to protest his prosecution.
“Our country has to protest,” Trump said.
Stone sang Trump’s praises as he introduced him on the first episode of Stone’s new radio show on WABC radio that aired Sunday.
“This thing is a disgrace… This is a disgraceful indictment,” Trump said. “It shouldn’t happen. It was done for political reasons.”
Trump claimed that the timing of his indictment was to “cover up a massive crime” perpetrated by Hunter Biden.
“They wanted to do a distraction,” Trump said. “They’ll probably come up with a jaywalking charge on Hunter in the future, a very small charge, so they can say it was fair.”
The Republican party has recently increased its obsession with the president’s son, as Rolling Stone reported, urged by Trump as a form of payback for the investigations against him. While Hunter Biden has had business relationships with companies in China and Ukraine, the GOP has presented no concrete evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the Bidens.
Trump, of course, complained about the last presidential election, which he decidedly lost. “If you look at the disaster of the 2020 election, with all the things that have been found that the courts don’t want to work on, they don’t want to discuss,” Trump said before adding, “We’ll make America great again.”
When the conversation returned to the indictment, Trump again tried to distract by blaming Hunter Biden. “The indictment itself is a disgrace,” he said. “I do believe it was put up at a time that they found horrible things about the [Biden] family.”
“The problem is nobody wants to write about it,” Trump added.
