(DailyAnswer.org) – Following former President Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts at his hush-money criminal trial in Manhattan, reports have brought to light President Joe Biden’s pledge on November 18, 2022 to use measures outside of the election campaign to prevent Trump’s return to the White House. Biden’s promise to prevent the former president’s re-election has led conservatives to question his denial that the White House was involved in the multiple legal cases against Trump.
Conservative critics have challenged the impartiality of several key figures involved with Trump’s multiple legal cases. Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the hush-money trial in Manhattan and convicted Trump on all 34 counts relating to falsifying business records, donated to groups aligned with the Democratic party in 2020.
Michael Colangelo, the Acting Associate Attorney General and one of the country’s highest ranking law enforcement officers, announced his decision to leave the role for the position of assistant prosecutor at the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. If he allowed for a two-week notice period, Colangelo would have handed in his resignation on November 18, 2022.
Special Counsel Jack Smith has been accused of “tampering” with evidence relating to the former president’s classified documents trial. Republicans made the claims after an investigation found that the ordering of evidence had changed after being seized by the FBI from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022. Following the accusations, the trial date was indefinitely postponed by US District Judge Aileen Cannon, potentially scrapping Smith’s hopes of a trial taking place before the election.
The decision of Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint Smith on November 18, 2022, was considered unusual due to the latter’s track record of failed prosecutions of prominent political figures, as well as a tendency to rely on broadly worded federal statutes and “radical” interpretations of the law to attempt to take down his targets.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s top county prosecutor in the Georgia election subversion case against Trump, Nathan Wade, spent the day at the White House on November 18, 2022. Following controversy surrounding his romantic relationship with Willis, Wade stepped down from the trial, which has been postponed indefinitely.
Despite his comments on November 18, 2022 and the timing of these developments on the same day that related to Trump’s legal battles, Biden has repeatedly denied coordinating “lawfare” to bring down his political opponent leading up to the presidential election.
