'Planted by scoundrels!' Trump demands GOP allies investigate purported FBI setup
Raw StoryFormer President Donald Trump on Thursday issued an angry demand for Republican allies to launch investigations into the multiple criminal probes he faces. In a furious Truth Social post, the former president also insinuated without any evidence that the FBI planted top-secret government documents in boxes he stashed at his Mar-a-Lago resort. "Congress will hopefully now look at the ever continuing Witch Hunts and ELECTION INTERFERENCE against me on perfectly legal Boxes, where I have no doubt that information is being secretly 'planted' by the scoundrels in charge, the Perfect Phone Calls, the illegal DOJ/Pomerantz/Manhattan D.A. Additionally, the "perfect phone call" he's referencing was a call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he wanted to "find" 12,000 votes so he could "recalculate" the election results in Trump's favor. Trump currently faces a slew of legal problems, including a civil lawsuit over allegedly fraudulent business practices from New York Attorney General Letitia James; criminal charges related to his hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels; criminal charges into his retention of top-secret documents at Mar-a-Lago; and two different investigations into his efforts to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
