"I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of America, Joe Biden, and go after the Biden crime family," Trump said in June at his Bedminster, New Jersey, residence, just hours after being arraigned at a federal courthouse in Miami on charges related to his handling of classified documents after he left the White House.
Trump also discussed his 2016 opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, and how he did not imprison her. "Lock her up" was a frequent chant at Trump's campaign rallies — often fueled by Trump himself — during that election cycle.
But Trump credited himself for not going after Clinton, compared to what is now being done to him.
"Some people said I should have done it, but, you know, could have, would have been very easy to do it, but I thought it would be a terrible precedent for our country," Trump said. "And now, whoever it may be, you're going to have to view it very much differently. This is a bad, bad road that they're leading us down to as a country."
In a statement, Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer said that Trump's comments are "just the latest proof that he will do anything to regain power, preserve his own freedom and seek revenge on anyone who opposes him."
