The North American conservative press once again stood up for Donald Trump’s defense, in light of the new impeachment against the former president, alleging political motives in the lawsuits filed.
After Trump was indicted in Georgia on Monday for conspiracy to illegally reverse defeat in the 2020 election in that US state, the editors of the conservative National Review magazine admitted that the accusation is “serious” but “also exaggerated”.
The National Review editors are directing the criticism at Fani Willis, the lawyer responsible for the case, accusing her of using the investigation “as a political fundraising tool” on behalf of the Democratic election campaign.
Despite reiterating that “Trump’s crimes were susceptible to ‘impeachment’ and that Republican voters should avoid the frenzy of renominating him as a result of his actions,” the conservative magazine accuses the prosecution of “blaming” the charges against the tycoon. exaggeration” and “true mistakes”.
Pro-Republican channel Fox News also criticized Georgia’s impeachment, with host Laura Ingraham saying it was a “legal farce” and claiming that the purpose of Trump’s impeachment “is not to obtain justice.”
According to the presenter, Joe Biden’s administration is trying to “take Trump out of the race” for the presidential year 2024 with these allegations.
“I know it’s hard to believe we still live in the United States. The America I grew up in was a place where we didn’t lock up our political opponents. (…) Now, after reading this latest indictment to Trump, I asked myself: How can we really say that we are better than what we see in the former Soviet Union?” Ingraham asked on his show.
“We all know, and they all know, that the goal here is not justice. The goal here is to knock Donald Trump out of the political race in an effort to hand over the 2024 election to Biden, to a man regressing to real time before our very eyes,” he evaluated.
Analysts say the recent cascade of accusations against the former president is once again leading Fox News to “go in the direction of unified Trump propaganda,” as defended by journalist Zeeshan Aleem in an MSNBC op-ed.
Among the conservative press defending the Republican nominee for the next presidential election is The Blaze, where Glenn Beck, CEO and former Fox News host, dismisses the argument that attempts to arrest Trump are an attempt by the left to prevent him from takes flight. but to “divert attention from all the issues” involving Joe Biden’s family.
Donald Trump was indicted Monday in Georgia on charges of conspiracy to unlawfully reverse his defeat in the 2020 election in that US state.
This is the fourth criminal case against the former president and the second in which he is accused of trying to undermine the result of the vote.
The Fulton County grand jury’s indictment of Trump stems from a two-year investigation that began after a phone call in January 2021 in which the then-President suggested that Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State could help him “find 11,780 votes” needed to make up for the loss. Democrat Joe Biden.
Another 18 defendants charged in the same lawsuit include former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, and a Justice Department official in the Trump administration, Jeffrey Clark .
Trump was previously indicted by a federal grand jury in early August for conspiring to undermine the 2020 vote and prevent the peaceful transfer of power through a series of lies and illegal actions after the general election that led to his supporters’ violent rioting in the US Capitol, on January 6, 2021.
Trump – the leading Republican candidate for president in 2024 – continues to campaign and use successive impeachments to raise money, presenting himself as a victim of Democratic prosecutors.
