President Donald Trump has vented about his criminal cases while addressing the Justice Department Headquarters.
Trump has been making headlines recently over his immigration laws after reportedly deporting a 10-year-old girl who is recovering from brain cancer surgery, setting up a list of countries with restrictions to their visas, and also warning about World War 3.
Trump also confirmed on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he had a ‘good’ talk with Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, which could see a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
But now, at an event billed as a policy address at the Justice Department Headquarters, Trump spent a lot of it talking about his criminal cases.

He began talking about his focus on combating illegal immigration and drug trafficking, and then he went on to talk about the cases which were taken against him and named lawyers and former prosecutors while dubbing former President Joe Biden as the head of a crime family.
“The case against me was bullsh*t,” Trump said.
He shared that his defense lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, and the department’s chief of staff, Chad Mizelle, were great people.
Particularly, he praised the US district judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed his criminal case.
“She was brilliant,” Trump said. “The absolute model of what a judge should be.”
Stating that criticizing a judge should be criminalized, he went on: “It has to stop, it has to be illegal, influencing judges.”
Interestingly, Trump has previously criticized judges who did not rule in his favor.
After deferring away from his prepared notes, he shared how his campaign is set on stopping illegal immigration in the US, and illegal border crossings.
He then announced his plans to start a campaign to combat illegal fentanyl.
Fentanyl has been an issue in the US, as it kills people as it is mixed with other drugs and even a small amount can be dangerous to the system.
“They show the skin falling off and the teeth falling out and going blind and losing hair and everything these things do,” Trump said. “You look like you just came out of a horrible concentration camp.”
The president’s relationship with Mexico is strained after implementing 25 percent tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico, and 10 percent on China.
Speaking on the trade war, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said: “There is no motive or reason, nor justification that supports this decision that will affect our people and our nations.”
She added: “It’s inconceivable that they don’t think about the damage this is going to cause to United States citizens and businesses with the increase in prices for things produced in our country.
“Also the damage it will cause by stopping job creation in both countries. No one wins with this decision.”
