Former President Donald Trump has responded to a new indictment filed against him in the election subversion case, denouncing it as an attempt to revive a “dead” Witch Hunt and accusing the special counsel of election interference. Despite a supreme court ruling in July granting immunity to presidents for official acts, Trump faces criminal charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The new indictment keeps the same charges as the original, but removes allegations involving the justice department. Trump blamed his rival, Kamala Harris, for the indictment, calling it a “travesty.”
In response to the indictment, Trump claimed to have agreed to the rules for a debate with Harris on September 10 but accused the media of bias and questioned the fairness of the network hosting the event. He also criticized Harris for not agreeing to a Fox News debate scheduled for September 4. Meanwhile, Harris and Tim Walz are set to have their first joint interview on CNN on Thursday, as Harris faces criticism for not holding press conferences or sitting down with major media outlets. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will host fundraisers in Ketchum, San Francisco, and Aspen, reflecting the campaign’s continued fundraising efforts following the Democratic convention. As the legal battle against Trump continues, the ongoing feud between the two candidates sets the stage for a dramatic debate showdown in September.
