Trump Vows to Investigate Biden and Denounces Indictment as "Most Heinous Abuse of Power" in US History

Former President Donald Trump promised to appoint a special counsel to investigate his successor, President Joe Biden, only hours after his arraignment on 37 federal felony charges in Florida. Trump attacked Biden for "destroying the country" and claimed he was facing "political persecution like something out of a fascist or communist nation." He also hinted at what his defense might look like, claiming that photos included in the indictment were "staged," and saying some of the boxes held memorabilia, not documents. Trump's die-hard fans and allies cheered and chanted "lock him up!" at the idea of investigating the Biden family.
