Trump falsely claims US law department wanted to assassinate him

Donald Trump expressed an alarming concern in a fundraising email on Tuesday and social media. He stated that the Department of Justice was prepared to execute him.  The outrageous distortion occurred in the context of Trump's hush-money trial in New York and amid concerns about the escalating political violence surrounding the upcoming presidential election, which is primarily attributed to the far right. The comments continue to solidify the distorted image that Trump and his allies have presented, in which a patriotic Trump is juxtaposed with anti-democratic deep-state adversaries.
