Former President Donald Trump made waves on Monday by addressing the dismissal of an indictment against him and calling for an end to what he calls “Witch Hunts.” This came just two days after a failed assassination attempt left him injured during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump expressed his thoughts on the recent legal developments and the broader implications for his ongoing legal battles. He wrote:
"As we move forward in Uniting our Nation after the horrific events on Saturday, this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts — The January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, Fake Claims about a woman I never met (a decades old photo in a line with her then husband does not count), and the Georgia “Perfect” Phone Call charges. The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks, which are an Election Interference conspiracy against Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME. Let us come together to END all Weaponization of our Justice System, and Make America Great Again!"

On Monday, a federal judge in Florida dismissed the prosecution of Trump in the “documents” case, citing that special counsel Jack Smith had not been constitutionally or lawfully appointed, according to Breitbart News. Many conservatives believe that this series of prosecutions has fueled the climate of hatred, potentially contributing to the assassination attempt.
The “documents” case marked an extraordinary prosecution that began with an armed raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in August 2022. Trump's dismissal marks a significant turning point in what he and his supporters deem politically motivated legal actions.
Following the attempt on his life, Trump recounted a doctor's statement from the hospital, calling his survival a “miracle.” He shared that a slight turn of his head at the last moment saved him from a fatal shot. Video footage captures the terrifying moment when the bullet grazed Trump's ear, leaving him bloodied but defiant as he raised his fist in a show of resilience.
Despite the assassination attempt, Trump remains undeterred. He is set to accept the Republican Party’s nomination on Thursday night at the RNC in Milwaukee, maintaining his schedule without alterations. He arrived in Milwaukee on Sunday evening, steadfast in his commitment to his campaign.
The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was shot dead by the U.S. Secret Service at the scene. Investigations continue to understand the motive behind the attack.
As Trump pushes forward, his call to end the "Weaponization of our Justice System" resonates with his supporters, reinforcing his campaign message of uniting the nation and making America great again.
