Trump has said he would fire Smith if elected president again. He first made the comments in a previous Breitbart News interview at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf course in the summer of 2023 — and he reaffirmed in this latest Breitbart News interview that he would not keep Smith employed by the federal government if he were elected president again.
“No, I wouldn’t keep him,” Trump told Breitbart News at Mar-a-Lago, reiterating what he said this past summer. “I think he’s a dishonest person.”
Biden, meanwhile, has tried to personally distance himself politically from the Smith madness, claiming that Smith is an independent special counsel. But Biden himself could fire Smith if he wanted this to stop, and he continues to proactively choose to employ Smith. Asked if Biden should fire Smith now and end the weaponization of the use of the Justice Department against him — Biden’s top political opponent in the 2024 presidential election year — Trump told Breitbart News that Biden is harming the United States by keeping Smith employed.
“Biden is hurting our country with this,” Trump said. “I think it is really hurting the country. Thus far, it’s obviously been helpful from the standpoint of voting, but he’s really hurting the country.”
Trump expanded on this point by arguing that Biden has opened a door that may swing back around on him later.....
