In a stunning turn of events, former President Donald Trump has made a bold announcement regarding his upcoming legal battle. Amid allegations of concealing classified documents, Trump intends to enter a plea of not guilty, vehemently asserting his innocence.
During an exclusive interview with an unconventional outlet, Fox News Digital, Trump unleashed a barrage of criticism aimed at the Biden administration. He branded it as “the most corrupt in history” and accused it of engaging in election interference at a grand scale.
Trump referred to the ongoing investigation into his campaign as “election interference” and labeled it the “greatest witch hunt of all time.” With unwavering confidence, he declared his intent to plead not guilty in federal court, adamantly maintaining his innocence.
Following a thorough examination by Special Counsel Jack Smith, a federal grand jury formally indicted Trump on Thursday evening. The charges stem from allegations of unauthorized possession of confidential records at his famed Mar-a-Lago estate. Interestingly, despite these legal challenges, Trump remains the front-runner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.
The indictment against Trump encompasses seven distinct criminal allegations, including obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and the illicit retention of sensitive government documents. However, specific details of the charges have yet to be disclosed, leaving the public eager to learn more. Trump’s court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday in Miami, Florida, adding to the anticipation surrounding the case.
During the Fox News Digital interview, Trump continued to lambast the current administration, characterizing it as a hotbed of corruption. He asserted that their motivation for bringing forward what he deemed a “silly box hoax case” was merely an attempt to divert attention from their own dishonest practices.
In a resolute tone, Trump vowed that those responsible for his indictment “won’t get away with it.” He maintained his innocence, citing the Presidential Records Act as his shield against wrongdoing.
Interestingly, the conversation veered towards the potential indictment of President Joe Biden himself. However, Trump expressed skepticism about the possibility, asserting that “probably nothing will happen.”
Trump justified the timing of his indictment, citing the exposure of allegations involving Biden’s supposed involvement in a $5 million bribery scheme, as reported by Fox News Digital. According to a confidential source, the FBI was tipped off in June 2020 about Biden receiving the substantial sum from a top executive at the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, where his son Hunter Biden held a board position.
While specific details of the FD-1023 form, which contains the allegations, remain undisclosed, sources familiar with its contents claim that it describes a criminal bribery conspiracy, implicating Biden in influencing U.S. policy decisions. The $5 million transaction is believed to be just the tip of the iceberg, with Trump asserting that more revelations are yet to come.
Fox News Digital conducted an exclusive investigation, uncovering details of the FD-1023 form based on an interview with a highly credible confidential source. This source revealed a series of meetings and conversations with a top Burisma executive, beginning as early as 2015. While Fox News Digital has not personally seen the form, individuals familiar with it maintain that it exists.
According to the source, the Burisma CEO boasted about making payments to the Bidens through a complex network of bank accounts, confident that investigators would require a decade to unravel the intricate web.
Notably, references to “the big guy” in the conversation were interpreted as allusions to Joe Biden. However, when confronted, the Burisma executive denied making direct payments to the “big guy.”
Insiders with knowledge of the situation suggest that Burisma sought to retain the Bidens’ services for $5 million as part of a broader arrangement, including efforts to halt the investigation led by Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin. This arrangement has been described by some as a “pay-to-play” scheme.
