Elon Musk criticizes US Justice System after Trump‘s indictment. Following Donald Trump’s announcement that he has been indicted for his handling of classified documents, billionaire Elon Musk came out in support of the former US president, citing a “far higher interest” in pursuing the Republican Party leader than other people in politics.
“Very important that the justice system rebut what appears to be differential enforcement or they will lose public trust,” Mr. Musk, who has predicted Donald Trump would be re-elected in a “landslide victory” if he is indicted in the case, said on Twitter.

“The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax,” Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social as he broke the bombshell news to the public.
Trump stated in his post that he has been summoned to a federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday.
This is the first time a sitting or former president has faced federal charges.
Though the Justice Department did not immediately confirm Trump’s claim, some US media outlets, including The New York Times, cited sources who said Trump had been indicted.

According to the indictment, Trump took classified documents from the White House and stored them at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida while still in office. Trump has also been charged with attempting to obstruct justice by interfering with the investigation into his actions.
Trump’s announcement came a day after federal prosecutors informed the former president’s lawyers that he is the subject of an investigation into his handling of classified documents.
He was already the first former or sitting president to be charged with a crime, in this case for hush money payments to a porn star who claimed she had an affair with him on election night. The district attorney of Manhattan issued the indictment in March.
Trump, who will turn 77 next week, has denied all wrongdoing.
