Trump responded to Bream’s spat with his former lawyer on Truth Social, saying Biden is “looking to the Shannon Breams of the world” to help him secure a second term as the incumbent Democratic president.
“I never knew Shannon Bream was so ‘naive’. In an interview with my rep Alina Habba, Shannon insinuated that crooked Joe Biden is not involved in my show trial. How stupid! Not only is he involved, he is in fact running this trial and all the others – I mean his cronies – because he’s not smart enough to lead anything! Look at the involvement of the DOJ and White House crooks and all the rest. Biden is incompetent and thinks weaponizing is the only way to win. He’s counting on the Shannon Breams of the world to lead him there. Bad day for Shannon!” Trump wrote.
