Former United States President Donald Trump told Fox News on Friday that he refuses to partake in anything related to the appointment of the special counsel in relation to the Department of Justice's probes, calling the step "unfair" and "the worst politicization of justice in our country."
"I have been proven innocent for six years on everything, from fake impeachments to [former special counsel Robert] Mueller who found no collusion, and now I have to do it more," Trump asked.
"It is not acceptable. It is so unfair. It is so political. And I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this," exclaimed the ex-head of state. Earlier, Attorney General Merrick Garland named the special counsel, who will conduct an "impartial" investigation into whether Trump should be criminally prosecuted.
