‘Selective Persecution’: Trump Says He Should ‘Not Be Charged’ After Biden Cleared By Special Counsel

Former President Donald Trump argued Friday night for charges against him to be dropped in his classified documents case after a DOJ special counsel recommended no charges for President Joe Biden in a separate classified documents probe.

Trump spoke to a crowd gathered for a National Rifle Association meeting in Pennsylvania and said that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s Thursday report suggesting no criminal charges for Biden is an example of “selective persecution.” Hur’s investigation concluded that there is “evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” but said “no criminal charges are warranted in this matter.”

“If Biden is not going to be charged … that’s up to them, but then I should not be charged,” the former president said. “This is nothing more than selective persecution of Biden’s political opponent, me.”

The special counsel argued that it would be unlikely a jury would convict the 81-year-old Biden of a “serious felony” because of his “mental state.”

“Mr. Biden’s memory was significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017 [with whom he shared classified materials], and in his interview with our office in 2023,” Hur’s report said. “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
