In addition to dodging assassins’ bullets and the lies being spread by his political enemies, President Donald Trump is still facing multiple court cases in the final weeks of the 2024 campaign season.

The U.S. Department of Justice recently announced the latest chapter in this ongoing saga by deciding to unseal a motion filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith in connection with a case into Trump’s actions after the 2020 election.

Trump was quick to respond to the news, as Breitbart reported:

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that the Democrat Party was “weaponizing” the DOJ against him “because they know” he is winning, pointing out that this unsealed motion came after Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Trump’s vice presidential running mate, “humiliated” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) in the vice presidential debate on Tuesday.

“Democrats are Weaponizing the Justice Department against me because they know I am WINNING, and they are desperate to prop up their failing Candidate, Kamala Harris,” Trump wrote. “The DOJ pushed out this latest ‘hit job’ today because JD Vance humiliated Tim Walz last night in the Debate. The DOJ has become nothing more than an extension of Joe’s, and now Kamala’s, Campaign. This is egregious PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT, and should not have been released right before the Election. The Democrat Party is turning America into a Third World Country that tries to censor, harass, and intimidate their Political Opponents. What they have done to our Justice System is one of the Great, All Time, Tragedies.”

Plenty of other social media commenters had a similarly dim view of the Justice Department’s decision:

Judge Chutkan unsealed a “bombshell immunity filing” – but the only bombshell is the complete absence of a compelling LEGAL reason for this filing to be unsealed now, when it is clear that Jack Smith’s case against @realDonaldTrump will not move forward until well after the… pic.twitter.com/dzS0a95G2o

The Daily Wire provided additional coverage of Trump’s response:

Defense lawyers had previously argued that the debate over grappling with the presidential immunity issue should wait until at least December, but Chutkan said the court was “not concerned” with the schedule of the 2024 election.

Trump has pleaded not guilty in the D.C. case, which got delayed as the courts weighed his presidential immunity claims. Smith’s second case against him — one related to classified documents — has been tossed by a judge in Florida.

Alluding to the dismissal, Trump said in one of his posts to Truth Social that the 2020 election case “is a Partisan, Unconstitutional, Witch Hunt, that should be dismissed, entirely, just like the Florida case was dismissed!”
