• He alleged the Biden administration tried to provoke a divorce between President Trump and Melania Trump, a claim not independently verified.
• He repeated assertions of DOJ and FBI 'weaponization,' citing 112 subpoenas, gag orders, raids at Mar-a-Lago, and the posting of the president’s mugshot.
• He said Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland were 'at the forefront' of actions including searches of Melania Trump’s closet and Barron Trump’s room.
