Donald Trump threatens opponents with jail in Justice Department speech
Al JazeeraThe US president took aim at journalists, judges, prosecutors and Biden officials in a speech calling for ‘accountability’. “This is a storied hall, if there ever was one.” That is how President Donald Trump opened his remarks to the United States Department of Justice, before he launched into a speech that denounced judges, prosecutors and members of his predecessor’s government as corrupt. “I think it was the most humiliating time in the history of our country,” Trump said of Biden’s term. It’s going to also be legendary for the people that are able to seek it out and bring justice.” Trump calls coverage of court cases ‘illegal’ Before his election, Trump faced a total of four criminal indictments: the two federal cases, plus a state-level case in Georgia about alleged election interference and another in New York for falsifying business records. “ You can’t go after your political opponent,” Trump said, as he closed his speech.
