January 1, Trump Fires Back Over Indictments On TV

Wyatt’s Take

• Trump defended himself on CBS, saying he’d beaten many indictments to run for president.
• The interview stirred anger since CBS edited out big parts for TV.
• Trump said Democrat attacks on him are true political retribution.

Donald Trump told CBS’ Norah O’Donnell that he stood innocent after facing several indictments, claiming he had to

“beat the rap”

to run for president.

His remarks came as CBS faced backlash for cutting down his 60 Minutes interview from 73 minutes online to less than half an hour on TV.

Trump pointed out that Democrats and corporate media framed any effort to hold their allies accountable as

“retribution.”

He argued that while he was indicted multiple times, these actions were about silencing him for fighting a corrupt system.

He called out former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and John Bolton as dishonest people, saying he was unfairly targeted and had just won a major legal battle against James.

O’Donnell pressed him about instructing the Department of Justice to charge his rivals, but Trump insisted he never gave those orders, saying

“the honest people we have go after ’em automatically.”

He claimed the DOJ and FBI under Biden had targeted him, with the infamous raid on Mar-a-Lago used as proof of a double standard.

If you think this two-tiered justice system should worry every working American, tell your friends about what’s happening right in front of us.

Stay tuned and stay sharp—America depends on it.
