in a recently kept Speech in the Department of Justice has President Donald Trump set up a variety of false claims, while he spoke about the legal system, crime and the issues in Ukraine and his predecessor Joe Biden.

false claims on legal disputes

Trump repeated his unfounded claim that Joe Biden had misused his office to use the legal system against him. He expressed: "The words of the English philosopher John Locke are engraved on the walls of this building: 'Where the law ends, tyranny begins.'" He accused the government of bidges without evidence of "unimaginable crimes", and spoke of "corrupt" behavior of the media and law firms that are connected to him.

The legal proceedings against Trump

The two federal proceedings against Trump were initiated by a special investigator, Jack Smith. Smith was deployed in November 2022 by the then incumbent Attorney General Merrick Garland, a official appointed by bids. However, there is no evidence that bidges were personally involved in the legal steps against Trump. Garland himself explained in 2023 that he would resign if bids should ever ask him to act against Trump.

The other procedures that affect Trump come from local prosecutors in Manhattan and Fulton County, Georgia, both of whom are Democrats. Here, too, there is no evidence that bidges have had an impact on their decisions. Trump was convicted of falsifying business documents in the case in Manhattan; The circumstances in Georgia are currently exposed.

The investigation into bidens documents

Trump also provided false information about Joe Biden's dealings with documents and wrongly claimed that bidges were "essentially found to be guilty" and had been decided not to condemn him due to his alleged incompetence. In truth, however, there was no indictment against bidges, and the special investigator Robert Hur found in his report that the evidence was not sufficient to prove bidets beyond any doubt.

immigration statistics during Trump's term

Another topic was immigration statistics in which Trump expressed two false claims. He claimed that in the first full month of his tenure, the lowest figures on illegal border crossings were measured. In fact, the number of arrests by the border patrol in February 2025 was low, but not the lowest in history. His statements about the number of illegal immigrants when he left office are also not correct. Statistics show that the illegal immigration were not the lowest at that time.

Ukrainian help and Trumps false numbers

Trump also repeated his refuted claim that the United States had spent “maybe $ 350 billion” for help to Ukraine, while Europe only provided $ 100 billion. Neither the US nor the European figures match the actual expenses. According to the Kiel Institute for the global economy, Europe has provided much more funds in war aid than the USA.

elections in the USA and misinformation

Trump also expressed unfounded allegations on the unreliability of the US elections by declaring that the elections were "totally fake" without providing specific evidence.

Iran's financing of terrorist groups

He also repeated the wrong claim that Iran was "completely broke" during his presidency and therefore did not give any money to Hamas or Hezbollah. The financing of these groups decreased during his term, but the flow of money was never completely stopped.

Overall, Trump's speech showed a large number of unfounded claims and false information based on a fact. It is important to critically question such statements and to rely on reliable information.
