'Deranged!' Trump lashes out at Jack Smith as bombshell report released
Donald Trump had a lot on his mind in the middle of the night less than a week before his return to the White House.
The president-elect issued a series of posts on his Truth Social network between 1:24 a.m. and 1:54 a.m. attacking President Joe Biden and recently resigned special counsel Jack Smith, who issued his hotly-anticipated report on Trump's election interference case about a half hour before the social media spree began.
"Deranged Jack Smith was unable to successfully prosecute the Political Opponent of his 'boss,' Crooked Joe Biden, so he ends up writing yet another 'Report' based on information that the Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs ILLEGALLY DESTROYED AND DELETED, because it showed how totally innocent I was, and how completely guilty Nancy Pelosi, and others, were," Trump posted, repeating several falsehoods about the case.
"Jack is a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election, which I won in a landslide. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!"

The special counsel's report, issued after he dropped the case against Trump as the accused prepared to enter the White House, states that prosecutors believed they had enough evidence to obtain a conviction. Trump successfully appealed — and thus delayed — the case through the 2024 election, which the former president won over vice president Kamala Harris.
"To show you how desperate Deranged Jack Smith is, he released his Fake findings at 1:00 A.M. in the morning," Trump posted. "Did he say that the Unselect Committee illegally destroyed and deleted all of the evidence."
"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump added, completing his middle-of-the-night tirade.
