Former President Donald Trump is in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania today for his first rally of the midterm election season since the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago residence. The former president used his speech to blast federal officials who searched his Mar-a-Lago estate last month in an investigation into the mishandling of classified documents. “The FBI and the Department of Justice have become evil monsters, controlled by radical left-wing crooks, lawyers and the media, who tell them what to do,” Trump told the crowd. He also made unsubstantiated allegations about John Fetterman, the Democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania US Senate seat, accusing him of heavy drug use. The event also featured remarks from GOP allies Dr. Mehmet Oz and Republican Doug Mastriano, whom Mr. Trump has endorsed in their races for the Pennsylvania Senate seat and governor’s office, respectively. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is also set to be in the state for the Labor Day weekend as Pennsylvania turns into a political battleground. Mr Trump’s rally comes after a Florida court released a full list of what was found at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate during an FBI search last month. The trove of documents found in the former president’s home includes more than 100 classified documents, more than 10,000 documents legally owned by the US government and, most mysteriously, 90 empty folders that once contained highly sensitive documents.

Gov. and Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman, which ended with him accusing Fetterman of using multiple illegal drugs.

Donald Trump accuses Senate candidate John Fetterman of taking drugs
Donald Trump is stooping real low here. During his speech in Pennsylvania, he accused Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman of taking many illegal drugs. Trump claimed that the current lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania wants “full decriminalization of illegal drugs, including heroin, cocaine, crystal methamphetamine and the highly lethal fentanyl, and by the way, he takes them himself.” There is no evidence to support the claim that Mr. Fetterman uses all these drugs and does not want full decriminalization. Instead, Mr. Fetterman went on a listening tour about decriminalizing marijuana, an idea popular with Pennsylvania voters. The Pennsylvania official also pushed to federally delist marijuana as a high-risk drug to recognize its medical value. Many states have legalized medical and recreational marijuana, which remains illegal at the federal level. Mr. Fetterman also wants to release people from the criminal justice system who are in prison for non-violent marijuana offenses. Josh Marcus September 4, 2022 02:50 1662255334
