Trump Warns Indictments Against Him Could Prompt Prosecution Against Biden

Former President Trump Threatens Retaliation against Biden Amidst Ongoing Indictments, Allegeing Political Bias in Lawsuits Ahead of Potential 2024 Election Rematch.

• Donald Trump has threatened Joe Biden with potential prosecution in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social. He warns Biden that the same lawsuits and indictments he is facing could happen to him, claiming them to be politically biased.
• Trump is currently facing two indictments on state charges and two federal criminal charges. One of the federal cases is related to alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election, the other related to illegal retention of classified files at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
• In a follow-up post and an Iowa rally, Trump accused the Justice Department under Biden of 'cheating' and of targeting him for political purposes. He made it clear that the indictments would allow him to retaliate against Biden, which he stated would be very easy.
• Trump asserted that he wouldn't take action against Biden while he was in office, claiming 'too much respect for the office.' He only started considering it following the historic indictment of a former president, an action he believes is directly correlated to his leading position in the polls.
• Despite Trump's legal challenges, a recent Messenger/Harris poll shows him leading Biden by a narrow margin in a potential 2024 rematch. However, his jam-packed legal calendar throughout the next year could influence his political fate.
