'At it again!' Trump goes on Truth Social tirade to dismiss latest Russia influence claims

A triggered Donald Trump lashed out against "Enemies of the People" Thursday as the Justice Department hit allies with accusations they helped spread a hostile foreign power's propaganda and accepted cash from a sanctioned foreign agency.

Trump complained of what he argued was the Justice Department's preferential treatment of his political opponent Vice President Kamala Harris.

"Russia, Russia Russia Hoax," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Comrade Kamala Harris and her Department of Justice are trying to interfere in and suppress the Election in favor of the Democrats."

This comment came as MAGA influencers from the network Tenet Media faced staunch criticism for echoing what Justice Department prosecutors said in a new criminal indictment was Russia-fueled, conservative propaganda.

Recent Tenet Media guests include Trump’s daughter-in-law and Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump and U.S. senate candidate Kari Lake, the Guardian reported.

Trump's tirade also arrived the same day the Justice Department charged Trump's 2016 campaign advisor Dimitri Simes, a Russian-born U.S. citizen "at large," with accepting more than $1 million from Russia's Channel One, a state-controlled television station.

Trump argued the implication that Russian operatives were attempting to push 2024 election voters away from Harris and toward himself "absolutely false."

"In fact, President Putin would much rather see Comrade Kamala Harris in Office, as he strongly said just this morning," Trump wrote.

Trump lashed out at Andrew Weissmann, the MSNBC legal analyst who assisted special counsel Robert Mueller in his investigation of Russia's influence on the 2016 presidential election, and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.

"So ironic watching Lisa Monaco, a figurehead for Weissmann and the group of Radical Left Lunatics who had so much to do with the original Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and now she is at it again."

While the Mueller Report identified multiple links between the Russian government and Trump's campaign and detailed evidence the then-candidate tried to obstruct justice, Mueller ultimately found that the Trump campaign did not conspire with Russia.
