In a recent online post on his Truth Social platform, former President Trump launched a scathing critique against the prosecutors involved in the legal cases against him, referring to them as “bad people who hate our country.”
Trump specifically targeted individuals such as special counsel Jack Smith, who oversees the federal election subversion case related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots, and his case concerning the retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate post-presidency.
Focusing on Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, who is handling the Georgia election interference case, Trump’s post took a jab at her acknowledgment of a personal relationship with the lead prosecutor in the case, Nathan Wade.

The former President accused the prosecutors, including Willis, Smith, and others, of being “just as guilty as Fani Willis.” He contended that these legal actions were part of “Biden Investigations for purposes of ELECTRION INTERFERENCE” and concluded with the rallying cry “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump’s critique extended to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued him in 2022, claiming evidence of fraud.
The former president faced legal setbacks when Judge Arthur Engoron ruled in September that Trump and his adult sons had committed fraud by manipulating Trump Organization assets for personal gains.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, responsible for convening a grand jury to investigate Trump’s hush money case, also found himself a target in the former President’s post. This move by Bragg led to the first criminal charge against a former U.S. president.
Trump’s legal challenges have become an intricate web, with 91 criminal charges across four state and federal indictments and involvement in numerous civil lawsuits.
Despite these legal entanglements, Trump is positioning himself to become the GOP nominee for the upcoming election.
The online post follows recent federal election filings revealing that Trump’s political committees spent nearly $30 million on legal fees in the latter half of 2023.
This significant expenditure underscores the financial toll the legal battles are taking on Trump’s political apparatus as he navigates the complexities of multiple legal proceedings.
