Trump calls for prosecution of more political foes including Jack Smith and Merrick Garland - CBS

Trump calls for prosecution of more political foes including Jack Smith and Merrick Garland - CBS News https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-calls-for-jack-smith-merrick-garland-christopher-wray-prosecuted/


President Trump late Friday pushed for several Biden-era Justice Department officials to be prosecuted over an FBI investigation into the fallout of the 2020 election.

In a Truth Social post, Mr. Trump accused four high-ranking officials — former Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, special counsel Jack Smith and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco — of signing off on an FBI probe in which investigators allegedly looked at nine Republican lawmakers' phone records.

"These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior!" the president wrote. He did not specify what crimes he believes they committed.
