Former President Donald Trump claimed lawmakers in the Republican Party “don’t do anything” regarding the corruption around President Joe Biden.
During a campaign event in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Trump threatened to primary the Republican lawmakers who don’t hold Biden accountable. Meanwhile, Trump was indicted by Special Counsel Jack Smith in early June and hit with 37 charges related to willful retention of national defense information, conspiring to obstruct justice, and making false statements.
Trump was recently hit with three additional charges related to the allegations of his mishandling of classified documents. The new filing accuses Trump of having deleted security footage from his Mar-a-Lago home.
“The biggest complaint that I get is that the Republicans find out this information and then they do nothing about it. They don’t do anything about it,” Trump said during his speech, according to C-SPAN.

Trump went on to label the Democrats as “radical” lunatics who “rig elections” and try to impeach him and indict him.
“Republicans, just don’t fight the way, they’re good people, but they don’t fight the way they’re supposed to fight,” Trump said, adding that “any Republican that doesn’t act on Democrat fraud should be immediately primaried.”
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) has insisted the Republican’s investigation into Biden is reaching the point of an impeachment inquiry.
McCarthy has referenced an unverified FBI document known as FD-1023 which contains information showing that Biden took part in a foreign bribery scheme.
The document contains an allegation that a “highly credible” informant provided information regarding meetings that took place as early as 2015. Included in the information shared was information about a 2016 meeting which allegedly involved Mykola Zlochevsky, the CEO of a Ukrainian company known as Burisma.
Zlochevsky claimed he had made two payments of $5 million to the Bidens.
“They have to play tough,” Trump said of the Republicans, adding he would primary the politicians who don’t fight back against the Democratic Party.
