Former President Donald Trump is apparently suggesting genetically modified individuals are behind his indictment for his handling of classified documents.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “REALLY BIG FUNDRAISING, EVEN GREATER POLLS, SINCE THE RADICAL LEFT INDICTMENT HOAX WAS INITIATED BY THE MISFITS, MUTANTS, MARXISTS, [and] COMMUNISTS! THANK YOU !!!”

The former president’s campaign revealed on Wednesday it had received $7 million in donations since he was indicted.
Trump is facing 37 charges for his handling of classified documents, including 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, one count of corruptly concealing a document or record, one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation, and one count related to making false statements.
The indictment states, “The classified documents Trump stored in his boxes included information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack.”
“The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods,” it added.
Trump has insisted he is an “innocent man.”
He also suggested Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the case, planted classified documents.

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday the former president was presented with a plan by one of his attorneys, Christopher Kise, in 2022 to try to avoid charges in the case.
However, it added, “Trump was not interested after listening to other lawyers who urged a more pugilistic approach, so Kise never approached prosecutors, three people briefed on the matter said. A special counsel was appointed months later.”
In a statement, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said, “President Trump has consistently been in full compliance with the Presidential Records Act, which is the only law that applies to Presidents and their records.”
“In the course of negotiations over the return of the documents, President Trump told the lead DOJ official, ‘anything you need from us, just let us know.’ Sadly, the weaponized DOJ rejected this offer of cooperation and conducted an unnecessary and unconstitutional raid on the President’s home in order to inflict maximum political damage on the leading presidential candidate,” he continued.
