Saturday 24 September 2022 01:20 AM Trump says Biden DOJ should investigate Letitia James for 'appalling and ... trends now Former President Trump said that President Biden's Justice Department should investigate Letitia James for 'appalling and malicious abuse of power' after the New York attorney general launched a civil lawsuit against him this week. At a Save America rally in Wilmington, North Carolina on Friday, Trump said: 'The Biden Justice Department be investigating the Letitia James for her appalling and malicious abuse of power - We won't even mention Hunter. We're not going to mention that because that would be disrespectful.' 'Thankfully the latest polls show that 'Peekaboo' James is losing to her Republican challenger this fall,' Trump told a raucous crowd of supporters. James is running against Republican Michael Henry for reelection in November. This week she launched a lawsuit against Trump and his three adult children, who she claimed as senior executives at the Trump Organization overvalued the company's assets to obtain favorable loans and undervalued them for tax purposes. 'Letitia "Peekaboo" James - this raging maniac - campaigned off ranting and raving about her goal, her only goal, is "We gotta get Donald Trump. We gotta get him." They know nothing about me! I never heard of her,' Trump said. Trump said that President Biden's Justice Department should investigate Letitia James for 'appalling and malicious abuse of power' after the New York attorney general launched a civil lawsuit against him this week 'She went around boasting her plan to weaponize her office against me, probably working with the federal government of course, declaring I look forward to going into Office of Attorney General New York State every single day and suing him I'm gonna sue him. And then I'm gonna go home and I'm going to be so happy because I sued him,' he continued. 'She further screamed that "His days are numbered.'" 'She doesn't just deserve to lose, She deserves to be removed from office immediately disbarred and banished from the legal profession forever.' Trump then turned to the economy, noting that the prices of energy, milk, eggs, health insurance and mortgage rates were all up since he left office, and that 'over 5 million illegal aliens have flooded across our borders, and the number I think is a lot higher than that.' Trump claimed the U.S. has the 'worst border' anywhere in the world. 'No third world country would allow to happen to their border, they'd get out there with sticks and stones if they have to.' 'The murder rate is highest in 25 years, and probably the answer is 49 years,' Trump continued. The rally was in large part to support Rep. Ted Budd, who is running to replace retiring GOP Sen. Richard Burr. When Budd took the stage he immediately tore into President Biden for pricing Americans out of 'everyday necessities' like gas and groceries and thanked Trump for his job as president. 'You know, he made America great, and who knows, folks, he might just do it again,' Budd said to boisterous cheers from the crowd. In a race that has received far less media attention than other contentious Senate matchups around the country, Budd will face off against Democrat Cheri Beasley come November. The rally was in large part to support Rep. Ted Budd, who is running to replace retiring GOP Sen. Richard Burr Supporters look on as Budd speaks A Civiqs poll released Thursday found Beasley ahead of Budd by one point 49-48. The race will be key to determining who will hold control in a razor-thin Senate. The non-partisan Cook Political Report has rated the race as 'leans Republican.' Trump won the state by one point in 2020. While Budd has tacked to the right sticking close to Trump in the race to represent the Southern swing state, Beasley, a former state Supreme Court chief justice, has offered a moderate message in her Democratic race. And as some Republicans in other swing states have distanced themselves from federalized abortion laws, Budd resoundingly endorsed Sen. Lindsey Graham's 15-week ban proposal without exceptions for rape or incest. Speakers at the event include N.C. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, Rep. David Rouzer (NC-07), Republican candidate for the House of Representatives Bo Hines and N.C. Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley, among others. Whatley underscored the importance of North Carolina's Senate race in determining control in the upper chamber. He said that Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were going to be 'tough' for Republicans to win, while hinting they had a better shot in Georgia, Nevada and Arizona. Robinson during remarks blasted the military's vaccine mandate, telling the crowd the Pentagon was more focused on 'pronouns' than defending the country. Robinson, whose name has been floated as a candidate for governor in 2024, gave a strong hint he's considering a race: 'We need somebody to fill the governor's mansion,' he said. 'I don't know who it's going to be.' Sandy Smith, a Republican candidate for North Carolina's first district, took the stage to blast 'teachers' unions' which she told the crowd are focused on 'sexualizing our children.
