Donald Trump accused Joe Biden of ordering a «fake charge» against him while ranting on his social media.

In a video posted on his channel Truth Social, the former president of the United States, has lashed out at both his successor and Jack Smith, the Justice Department's special counsel.

Trump's immoderate tirade sounded like former allies, including three senior members of his administration surrounding the former commander in chief, who was on trial last week in Florida on 37 counts.

false accusation against me,” he said, claiming the administration was using the accusations as a distraction.

This was Mr. one attempt to rig and steal the results of the presidential election.”

Mr. Biden and his aides have repeatedly denied involvement. in the prosecution, insisting that the President of the United States had no direct contact with either Mr. Smith or Merrick Garland, the US Attorney General, in the Trump case.

Trump, who became the first former US president, facing criminal charges pleaded not guilty last week to all 37 counts related to classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida estate.

The former president faces a hurricane of litigation. He also pleaded not guilty to 34 felony felony offenses relating to silence money allegedly paid to Stormy Daniels, a former adult film actress.

A grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, is expected to announce over the next few months whether it will indict Mr. Trump in an illegal attempt to cancel the state's 2020 presidential election.

Although Mr. Trump is staying loyal, several senior members of his administration have refused to support him.

Bill Barr, former Attorney General, said Trump would be «roasted» if at least half of the charges in the Mar-a-Lago indictment were true.

John Kelly, the former White House chief of staff, said Mr. Trump was intimidated by the indictment «a hell of a lot less.»

Remarkably, two of the contenders for the nomination —Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson —refused to sign a pledge demanded by the Republican National Committee to support Trump if he wins the party nomination.

And on Sunday, Tim Scott, South Carolina Senator and presidential candidate, balked at the question of whether he would pardon as President Trump if convicted.

“I’m not going to hypothesize, but I will say that every American is innocent until proven guilty,” he told Fox News Sunday.
