BEDMINSTER, New Jersey — Former President Donald Trump spoke candidly in an exclusive on-camera interview with Breitbart News, applauding Delaware Judge Maryellen Noreika for scrutinizing a plea deal he deemed a “beyond sweetheart” offer to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. During the interview, Trump expressed his concerns about the Biden family, referring to them as a “crime family” akin to “mobsters.”
Trump praised Judge Noreika, who was appointed by him in 2017 and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2018 with support from Delaware’s Democrat U.S. Senators Chris Coons and Tom Carper. She now oversees federal charges against Hunter Biden, specifically related to tax issues and firearm problems. The judge recently disassembled a plea deal prosecutors presented to Hunter, leading to his plea of not guilty and a delay in the legal proceedings.
In court, prosecutors admitted the proposed deal was unprecedented, drawing Trump’s criticism that it was “beyond sweetheart.” He emphasized that the judge was instrumental in dissecting the deal, as prosecutors seemed reluctant to provide clear explanations. Trump also reacted to Sen. Chuck Grassley’s release of an FBI document suggesting that both Joe and Hunter Biden received $5 million bribes during the Obama administration.
Calling it “terrible,” Trump lamented the current state of affairs in the country, asserting that the Bidens are operating like a “crime family.” He questioned the Biden administration’s favorable stance toward countries like Ukraine and China, suggesting it might be due to their financial interests in those nations.
Although Trump refrained from detailing specific actions against the Bidens if he wins the next election, he emphasized the urgency of addressing such matters. He expressed dissatisfaction with the ongoing investigations against Republicans while alleged wrongdoings by the Bidens go relatively unchecked.
Trump concluded by expressing his profound respect for Judge Noreika’s refusal to be a mere rubber stamp, appreciating her for calling out potential injustices and discrepancies in the case. The former president remains deeply concerned about the actions and implications of the Biden family, urging a thorough investigation to uncover the truth.
