Tue Nov 26 06:13:24 UTC 2024: ## Trump Accuses Democrats of $100 Million Witch Hunt as He Prepares for Second Term
**Washington D.C.** – President-elect Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on the Democrats, accusing them of waging a politically motivated campaign against him costing over $100 million in taxpayer funds. His remarks come shortly after a judge dismissed a 2020 election subversion case against him.
In a social media post, Trump declared the various legal challenges he faced as “empty and lawless,” alleging that the Democratic Party and the Justice Department misused state and federal resources in a concerted effort to target him. He further claimed that a lawyer was forced to bring a case against him against their will. Trump framed these actions as a “political hijacking” and a “low point in the history of our country,” contrasting this with his recent decisive electoral victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump’s accusations gain additional significance amidst ongoing controversies surrounding the Adani Group in the US. While the Adani Group denies the allegations, some experts see them as part of a broader campaign targeting the group and India’s economic growth. Former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal criticized the US investigation as an abuse of power and a violation of Indian sovereignty, urging the US to utilize Indian legal channels if they possess evidence of bribery. Strategic affairs expert Brahma Chellaney echoed these concerns, pointing to a pattern of extraterritorial targeting by the US and suggesting that the Adani indictment, if not dropped by the incoming Trump administration, could severely strain US-India relations. Chellaney further speculated that while Adani is the named target, the real aim might be to undermine Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
