Former US President Donald Trump once again slammed current President Joe Biden in a TV interview, calling him an ‘idiot’. In an interview with Wayne Allyn Root of Real America’s Voice, Trump said, “I never followed Biden as much as I could out of respect for the presidency.”

Trump, who remains the leading contender in the polls for the GOP presidential nomination, added, “He’s a stone-cold crook. He’s a common thief. He’s a lowlife and he’s a very stupid person. More on anything, I mean, he is a stupid person. Now, I say it because when they charge your opponent, which nobody thought possible, especially on nonsense you know it all comes under the Presidential Records Act”.

Against the backdrop of an investigation conducted by the House Oversight Committee into alleged corruption on the part of the US president and his family, Trump reprimanded Biden.

Meanwhile, Georgia’s highest court rejected Trump’s request to block a district attorney from prosecuting him for his actions in the run-up to the 2020 election.

The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously shot down a petition filed by Trump’s lawyers last week asking the court to intervene. Trump’s legal team argued that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office should be barred from seeking charges and that a special grand jury report that was part of the inquiry should be thrown out.

Willis has been investigating since early 2021 whether Trump and his allies broke any laws as they tried to reverse his narrow Georgia election loss to Democrat Joe Biden. He suggested he would likely seek indictments in the case from a grand jury next month.

The state Supreme Court noted in its five-page decision Monday that Trump has a similar petition pending in Fulton County Superior Court. The justices unanimously refused to overrule the lower court, writing that Trump had not shown that he was prevented from fair access to ordinary channels.”

Regarding Trump’s attempt to block prosecutors, the justices said his legal filing lacked the facts or the law necessary to order Williss’ disqualification by this Court at this time on this record. “

The Trumps’ legal team previously acknowledged that the dual filings were unusual, but said they were necessary due to tight deadlines. Two new regular grand juries were seated last week, and one is likely to hear the case.
