Former President Donald Trump blasted the Department of Justice on Tuesday, accusing the agency of “election interference” for unsealing critical evidence against him about one month before Election Day.
A federal judge unsealed a 165-page court filing Tuesday chock full of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s argumentation and evidence against Trump in the ongoing election interference case.
“For 60 days prior to an election, the department of injustice is supposed to do absolutely nothing that would taint or interfere with a case,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial. “They disobeyed their own rule in favor of complete and total election interference. I did nothing wrong, they did! The case is a scam, just like all of the others, including the documents case, which was dismissed!”
Trump’s comments Tuesday refer to the “60-day rule,” the DOJ’s practice of avoiding major legal announcements just before the election. That rule was thrust into the forefront when the FBI held a press conference about Hillary Clinton’s emails before the 2016 election.
