Fresh from peddling conspiracy theories about Vice President Kamala Harris using artificial intelligence to create fake photos of large crowds at her rallies, former President Donald Trump has now come up with a new gambit: suing the United States Department of Justice.
Fox News reports that Trump is planning to sue the DOJ for $100 million for executing a search warrant at his Mar-a-Lago resort to retrieve top-secret government documents he had stored there and had allegedly refused to return even after receiving a subpoena for them.
According to Fox News, Trump's lawyers will argue that the DOJ was engaged in a "clear intent to engage in political persecution" when it searched his property, despite the fact that it had obtained a search warrant from a judge authorizing the search.
Nonetheless, Trump's attorneys will argue that the former president was a victim of biased prosecutors.
"What President Trump is doing here is not just standing up for himself — he is standing up for all Americans who believe in the rule of law and believe that you should hold the government accountable when it wrongs you," claimed Trump attorney Daniel Epstein.
Trump is no stranger to filing lawsuits, such as his racketeering lawsuit against former Democratic rival Hillary Clinton that was dismissed as frivolous in 2022.
