Donald J. Trump, former President of the United States and 2024 Republican presidential candidate, posted a series of statements on his Truth Social account on August 21, 2025. The posts addressed ongoing legal proceedings against him and alleged political motivations behind the trials.
In a post published at 11:59 AM EST, Trump wrote: "….These were all Political Trials in an effort to destroy my viability as a Presidential Candidate before, during, and after the Election. They were strongly coordinated with the Biden/Harris Campaign, and will go down in" (August 21, 2025).
Later that day at 12:45 PM EST, Trump shared another update referencing a link: "Donald J. Trump Truth Social 08.21.25 12:45 PM EST https://t.co/ah1Z2AOvoK" (August 21, 2025).
A third post followed at 12:53 PM EST stating: "President Trump News Community - BREAKING https://t.co/NeMc93RVbu" (August 21, 2025).
The statements come amid continued legal scrutiny of Donald Trump following his presidency and during his campaign for the upcoming election cycle. In recent years, Trump has faced multiple indictments and trials on both state and federal levels relating to business practices and actions taken while in office. He has repeatedly characterized these legal challenges as politically motivated efforts by opponents to undermine his candidacy.
The allegations referenced by Trump concerning coordination between prosecutors and political rivals have been widely discussed but remain unsubstantiated by independent investigations or court findings.
