'Unthinkable!' Trump demands indictment be 'withdrawn' in new Truth Social rant
Raw StoryFormer President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account on Tuesday to demand that the indictment against him for the 2020 election plot be "withdrawn." "So now that I have full Subpoena Power because of the Freedom of Speech Sham Indictment by Crooked Joe Biden, Deranged Jack Smith, and the DOJ, it has just been reported that the Unselect January 6th Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs has illegally destroyed their Records and Documents," wrote Trump. Trump is referring to a Fox News report this week that House Republicans, led by Oversight subcommittee chair Rep. Barry Loudermilk, are alleging the now-disbanded January 6 Committee failed to fully preserve records of their investigation, in violation of congressional rules. Former committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson has pushed back on this accusation, saying that Loudermilk's report is full of "factual errors" and that the only documents that weren't maintained were temporary documents that didn't advance the committee's investigation, while 4 terabytes of the committee's relevant information were turned over.
