Guest Exposes Biden DOJ’s Trump Targeting, CNN Panel Melts Down [WATCH]

During a recent appearance on CNN, criminal defense attorney Arthur Aidala stirred controversy by challenging the narrative around the ongoing legal battles faced by President-elect Donald Trump and his family.

Aidala argued that the focus on Trump by the January 6th (J6) committee, along with the four criminal cases and two civil cases against him, was unfair.

He also pointed out that while President Joe Biden may not have personally led the charge, the “lawfare” against Trump was directed by administration officials who were, in his words, “tacitly following his orders.”

Aidala’s comments came during an exchange with fellow CNN panelists who were defending Liz Cheney, the Republican former congresswoman and co-chair of the J6 committee.

The committee laid the blame for the January 6 riots at Trump’s feet, accusing him of inciting violence.

The panel also discussed Biden’s awarding of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Cheney, with Biden praising her commitment “to defend our Nation and the ideals we stand for: Freedom. Dignity. And decency.”

In the discussion, former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh urged Biden to pardon Cheney, claiming it was necessary to protect her from what he described as a vindictive Trump.

Aidala quickly responded by reminding Walsh that it was the Biden administration’s Justice Department that launched sweeping investigations into Trump and his family.

“Joe Biden should try to pardon as many people as possible to protect from a guy who said, ‘I want to be an authoritarian,’” Walsh said, to which Aidala retorted, “I know, but, congressman, his — the Democratic administration just went after Trump and his whole family. His whole family.”

This statement led to a heated exchange with CNN host Abby Phillip and panelist Cari Champion.

“Wait, wait,” Walsh said, and Phillip asked, “Hang on. What do you mean, the Democratic administration? What are you talking about?” Aidala responded, “Last I looked, Joe Biden is a Democrat. Last I looked, the attorney general, Merrick Garland, is a Democrat. They hired a special prosecutor who went after him in several jurisdictions. The Democratic Manhattan D.A. went after him. The Democratic attorney general of the state of New York went after him.”

The Trump family has been heavily involved in the legal proceedings surrounding the January 6 riots.

During the J6 inquiry, Trump’s family members, including Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr., were subpoenaed to testify about their knowledge of actions or statements made by Trump that could have provoked his supporters to storm the Capitol.

Despite Biden’s lack of direct involvement in prosecuting Trump, Aidala made the point that the efforts were carried out by his administration.

Aidala’s comments also brought attention to the connections between the Biden White House and the prosecutors pursuing Trump.

Court evidence has shown that key officials in the Biden-Harris administration were involved in the ongoing legal cases. For example, during a court hearing in the Georgia election interference case, it was revealed that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, met with Kamala Harris just before the charges against Trump were filed.

Similarly, New York Attorney General Letitia James, who vowed to “get” Trump upon taking office in 2019, was seen visiting the White House in August 2023 just months before bringing a civil case against Trump for allegedly inflating his real estate portfolio’s value.

Trump has vowed to pursue legal action against these prosecutors, including James, Willis, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Allies of the former president, including Steve Bannon, have outlined a potential legal strategy that could see these figures held accountable.

Bannon, speaking with Axios in June 2024, suggested that Trump could use civil rights laws to charge these prosecutors, particularly under the 14th and Fourth Amendments.

He also proposed investigating the role of Democrats’ media allies in the lawfare campaign against Trump.

As Trump faces multiple legal challenges, the debate continues over whether these cases are politically motivated or legitimate efforts to hold him accountable.

The ongoing legal battles involving Trump and his family remain a key point of contention in American politics.
