Donald Trump lashed out at the Justice Department Wednesday morning in response to a bombshell report from the Washington Post revealing that the DOJ has opened an extensive criminal investigation into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
The Post reported that aides to Mike Pence have been providing investigators with insider information about the former president’s fake elector plot.
The former president reacted by launching a muti-post tirade on his social media platform, claiming that his calls to Georgia officials were “PERFECT” and blasting Democrats for spreading “misinformation” about him.
In his extended rant, Trump tried to deflect responsibility by claiming: “I was just doing my job as President.”
“The Georgia phone calls were PERFECT,” Trump declared. “Many people and lawyers, on both sides, were knowingly on the one call, I assumed the call was taped, there were Zero complaints or angry ‘how dare you’ charges made during the call, and no ‘hang ups’ by anyone aggrieved or insulted at what was said.”
“THEY WERE PERFECT CALLS,” Trump insisted before adding: “I was just doing my job as President, and seeking Fairness and the Truth. The Election was Rigged and Stolen!”
In a second post, he wrote: “People forget, this is all about a Rigged and Stolen Election. But rather than go after the people that Rigged and Stole it, they go after the people that are seeking Honesty and Truth, and have Freedom of Speech, and many other defenses, on their side! Justice Department should look at The Crime of the Century. Evidence is massive and irrefutable!!!”
In its report, The Washington Post revealed federal investigators are examining the former president’s conversations and have seized phone records of top aides.
