Tue Sep 24 04:20:33 UTC 2024: ## Trump Alleges Justice Department Bias in Assassination Attempt Case
**Former President Donald Trump has accused the Justice Department of bias in its handling of the case against Ryan Wesley Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate him at a Florida golf course.**
In a statement, Trump claimed he cannot trust the federal government, which is currently prosecuting him on multiple charges, to fairly handle the case against Routh. He cited the Justice Department’s “obsession with ‘Getting Trump'” and its alleged control over local authorities as reasons for his mistrust.
Trump has been charged by special counsel Jack Smith with interference in the 2020 election and storing classified documents. He was also convicted on felony business fraud charges in New York and faces felony charges in Georgia related to 2020 election interference.
The former president suggested federal prosecutors should step aside and allow Florida authorities to handle the Routh case. Routh, a convicted felon, is currently in custody on two felony firearms violations and faces an additional federal charge of attempted assassination.
Trump’s statement has sparked debate about the Justice Department’s impartiality and the perceived political motivations behind various investigations targeting the former president. Many online commentators echoed Trump’s distrust of the federal government, urging for a complete overhaul of institutions like the FBI and CIA.
While Trump’s allegations have not been proven, his statement highlights the ongoing tension between the former president and the current administration. The situation raises concerns about potential bias and the need for transparency in high-profile cases involving political figures.
