Trump Calls FBI and Justice Department Officials ‘Scum’
During a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, President Donald Trump called FBI and Justice Department officials “scum.”
“We’re taking on the failed political establishment and restoring government of, by and for the people,” Trump said. “It’s the people, or you’re the people. You won the election.”
Then turning to talk of his own intelligence officials he said this: “And if you look at what’s happened with the scum that’s leaving the very top of government, people that others used to say, oh, that’s one — these were dirty cops. These were dirty players.”
He continued on: “You take a look at what’s going on, there’s 21 of ‘em already. And I’m not even doing — they’re just leaving because they got caught like nobody ever got caught.”
The crowd cheered.
“And in the truest sense of the word, what we are doing now is draining the swamp,” the president continued on to louder cheers. “That’s true.”
The crowd then chanted “Drain the Swamp!”
