Trump threatens federal investigations of his political opponents if he retakes the White House

Former President Donald Trump hinted that if he gets reelected he would use the government to investigate his political opponents the same way the Biden Justice Department went after him.

“If they do this, and they’ve already done it, but if they follow through on this, yeah, it could certainly happen in reverse. It could certainly happen in reverse,” Mr. Trump said in an interview with Univision that aired Thursday. “What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box. You understand that, they’ve done something that nobody thought would happen.”

He said the “pathetic” indictments against him were brought so that the Biden administration could win an election. He also said the administration has “weaponized” the Department of Justice and the FBI.
