Trump calls federal prosecutor ‘deranged’
June 10, 2023
Donald Trump blasted Jack Smith - the special counsel overseeing the Justice Department’s investigations of the former president. He called Smith “deranged” and a Trump hater. And he claimed Smith was “shaking” in a brief televised statement Friday on this week’s Trump indictment.
“He didn’t want to be there because, ultimately, these are cowards,” Trump said.
