In September, Donald Trump posted a private note on Truth Social demanding charges be brought against key figures; the message was mistakenly released to the public, sparking controversy.
Trump’s Message on Truth Social
Trump wrote that “nothing is being done against my enemies” and urged New York Attorney General Pam Bondi to bring charges against former FBI director James Comey, Senator Adam Schiff, and Letitia James. He warned that “we can’t keep delaying; it destroys our reputation and credibility.”
Accidental Public Release
The note was supposed to be a private communications, but it appeared publicly on Truth Social by mistake. Trump reacted with surprise, sighed “oh,” and tried to ignore the mishap. The revelation that the message had been intended for private use was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Legal Context
Comey and Letitia James already face charges from the Department of Justice. NBC News reports that Pam Bondi appointed a special prosecutor to investigate potential charges against Letitia James and Adam Schiff. On Thursday, Letitia James was indicted for bank fraud and false financial statements.
