Trump Condemns 'Special Persecutor' Jack Smith, 'Weak' Barr

Amid reports special counsel Jack Smith is homing in on criminal charges for former President Donald Trump, the target is striking back, calling Smith a persecutor and blasting his former Attorney General Bill Barr as weak.

"The special 'prosecutor,' Jack Smith, who is harassing, threatening, and terrorizing people who work for me, probably illegally, and totally at odds with the way Crooked Joe Biden is being treated, will no longer be known as the special 'prosecutor,' but rather, the special 'persecutor,'" Trump wrote on Truth Social last Friday night.

"He is a Trump-hating slimeball who is going far beyond the original instructions of the Department of Injustice. The witch-hunt continues, as it always will, with the radical left, country-destroying lunatics!"

Trump also ripped Barr, who he fired for his being "afraid" to investigate allegations of election fraud, fearing retaliation from Democrats who were intimidating him.
