Former President Donald Trump, during a weekend retreat at Mar-a-Lago, sharply criticized the Biden administration and various prosecutors handling his criminal cases in a 75-minute profane diatribe. Trump's remarks, which were part of a Republican National Committee spring retreat, included severe accusations against Democrats, likening them to the Nazi Gestapo, as revealed in audio obtained by NYT. He specifically targeted Fulton County DA Fani Willis and special counsel Jack Smith with derogatory comments. The event also served as a platform for Trump to evaluate potential vice-presidential candidates for his 2024 presidential campaign.
