Former President Donald Trump bashed President Joe Biden over claims of a series of tapes from a Burisma executive that allegedly shows the president accepting bribes.
In his first speech since his arrest on Tuesday, Trump bashed the case against him, special counsel Jack Smith, and, above all, President Joe Biden and his family. At the tail end of his speech, the former president seized on recent revelations about recordings of a Burisma executive, which reportedly show Biden engaging in a bribery scheme.

“Just yesterday, Sen. [Chuck] Grassley [R-IA] revealed that the Burisma executive who allegedly paid the bribe reportedly has Crooked Joe on tape,” Trump said.
“They got [Biden] and Hunter on 17 different tapes, supposedly, but the FBI isn’t showing them,” he continued. “Remember, they impeached me for asking a simple question about Biden’s corrupt dealings in Ukraine.”
The former president then gloated over being “right” about the Biden family’s relationship with foreign entities.
“I was right. I was right. I was totally right,” he said. “Joe Biden and the radical Left can take foreign bribes and be totally protected.”
Trump revived a central part of his 2016 campaign, promising to bring down the law on his Democratic opponent, in this case, the “most corrupt” president in U.S. history.
“[When elected], I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden, and the entire Biden crime family.”
