Eric Trump accused the Biden administration of plotting to break up his father’s marriage to Melania Trump.
The third child of President Donald Trump made the accusation against Democrats on Newsmax Monday night. He suggested that the plot to have Trump and Melania divorce was just one of the many tactics used by Democrats to attack Trump, suggesting that then-President Joe Biden and then were “at the forefront of all of it.”
They raided his home!” Eric said. “They raided Mar-a-Lago! They tried to get him divorced! They tried to separate our family! They tried to go after our employees! They attacked us. They tried to bankrupt our company. They de-platformed us! They stripped every bank account away from me and the Trump Organization that you can imagine.”
The FBI on August 8, 2022, resulting in the recovery of classified documents. As a result of the raid, Trump was indicted on federal charges related to the mishandling of classified material. However, a judge dismissed the case in July 2024, just a few months before the presidential election.
Eric did not elaborate on how Garland or Biden sought to break up Trump’s third marriage. However, Melania had shared in an interview with Fox News in September 2024 that the invasion made her “angry.”
“I saw unpleasant stuff that nobody wants to see it,’ Melania said. “And you get angry because, you know, nobody should be putting up with that kind of stuff. Some person – I don’t even know who or how many people – they, you know, they went through my stuff.”
Eric’s rant against the Biden administration was his response to Newsmax host Rob Schmitt’s question about what he thought about Democrats accusing Trump of weaponizing the Justice Department by
“They came after me like I was a dog,” Eric said before pivoting to how his father was subjected to lawfare. Eric cited his father’s two impeachments, the first one from when Trump pressured Ukrainian authorities to investigate political rival Biden by withholding aid and the second one stemmed from allegations that Trump incited the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. He also accused Democrats of going after Trump with a “Russia hoax that did not exist that was paid for by Hillary Clinton.”
‘The FBI and the DOJ spied on my father’s campaign,” Eric said. “They de-platformed him. They weaponized every attorney general and every district attorney around the country. They indicted him 91 times, 34 times in a bogus trial in New York City.”
Trump was indicted in three federal cases and one case in New York, in which Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records to cover a to porn star Stormy Daniels.
They posted his mugshot,” Eric said. “He’s the most recognizable person in the world. They posted his mugshot even though they didn’t need to. It totally backfired on him.”
“And Merrick Garland was at the forefront of all of it,” Eric concluded. “And Joe Biden was at the forefront of all of it when they raided our home, when they raided Mar-a-Lago, when they raided Melania’s closet, when they raided 16-year-old Barron’s room.”
Eric’s explosive rant comes just two weeks before the release of his new book “Under Siege: My Family’s Fight to Save Our Nation. The book’s description suggests that it will be covering many of the ways Eric and his family were attacked amid Trump’s run for re-election.
“From raids on his childhood home, Mar-a-Lago, to near assassination attempts, from Russiagate to cold and corrupt court rooms, the fake news media, censorship, and character smears – this wasn’t just an attack on a president, or even his family. America itself was under siege,” the teaser stated.
