    Trump announced he will sign an executive order to preserve all records from the Biden administration regarding what he views as “weaponization of law enforcement.”

    “I will also sign an order directing every federal agency to preserve all records pertaining to political persecutions under the last administration,” Trump said at Capital One Arena Monday.

    Trump noted that Biden made last-minute pardons to many who investigated Trump including all on the Jan. 6 Committee.

    “You know why he did it while I was speaking? Because that way I couldn’t speak about it. I was speaking. I didn’t know he did it. I finished my speech, and they said, ‘Sir, he partnered his whole family.’ I said, ‘Oh, can I go back out there and talk about it?'” Trump said.
