The new charge against Donald Trump, according to Nigel Farage, demonstrates that the United States “needs” him back in the White House.
The former president was accused once more with attempting to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
The charge marks Trump’s fourth federal prosecution in six months, and the second connected to his pressure campaign challenging Joe Biden’s victory.
Farage, a long-time friend and supporter of the former President, lambasted the Justice Department’s efforts to bring Trump to trial, reiterating his claims that the charges are part of a “witch hunt.”
“These charges appear ridiculous to any reasonable person, and the situation has now devolved into an all-out witch hunt,” he said.
“It’s a very sad sight to see the American judiciary be politicised as it has been. We need Trump in the White House more than ever.”
Trump has repeatedly accused President Joe Biden and the Justice Department of trying to hinder his efforts to be re-elected next year by investigating him.
Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, who has also been charged with violating Georgia’s RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization) Act, accused Democrats and prosecutors of “criminalizing the practice of law” following the indictment.
Ellis wrote on Twitter: “The Democrats and the Fulton County DA are criminalizing the practice of law.
“I am resolved to trust the Lord and I will simply continue to honor, praise, and serve Him. I deeply appreciate all of my friends who have reached out offering encouragement and support.”
