Donald Trump on Wednesday said he hasn’t been told he’s been indicted, while a spokesman for him testified before a Florida federal grand jury investigating the previous president’s handling of classified documents after leaving the White House.
“Nobody has told me I’m being indicted,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. “And I should not be” indicted “because I’ve done NOTHING incorrect.”
Earlier Wednesday, Trump called multiple criminal investigations into his actions “the best and most vicious instance of ELECTION INTERFERENCE within the history of our Country.”
And he said the assorted federal and state prosecutors handling those probes are “FASCISTS ALL.”
An FBI raid on Trump’s residence at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, last August uncovered many documents marked classified. The raid occurred three months before Trump announced he would seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
Taylor Budowich, a key Trump aide, testified for about an hour Wednesday before the grand jury in U.S. District Court in Miami, in line with a source who spoke with NBC News.
Budowich was asked questions on a past public statement he made on behalf of Trump claiming that Trump had not kept classified records after his presidential term led to January 2021, the source said.
“Today, in what can only be described as a bogus and deeply troubling effort to make use of the ability of presidency to ‘get’ Trump, I fulfilled a legal obligation to testify in front a federal grand jury and I answered every query truthfully,” Budowich said in a Twitter post after his appearance before the grand jury.
“America has turn into a sick and broken nation — a decline led by Joe Biden and power hungry Democrats. I won’t be intimidated by this weaponization of presidency,” he added.
