00:00Trump's son says Biden admin tried to break up president's marriage.
00:04Eric Trump accused the Joe Biden administration of trying to separate President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
00:11News.com has learned that the comments came as he defended his father against mounting legal troubles
00:16and the Justice Department's recent indictment of former FBI director James Comey,
00:22a case that critics say reflects political retribution.
00:25They raided his home. They raided Mar-a-Lago. They tried to get him divorced.
00:30They tried to separate our family, he said.
00:32He also alleged that agents searched private areas of the Trump residence during the 2022 FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago,
00:40including Melania's closet and a bedroom belonging to his younger half-brother, Barron Trump, who was 16 at the time.
00:47The search, which a federal judge authorized, was part of an investigation into Donald's retention of classified government documents.
00:54Speaking to Newsmax host Rob Schmidt, Eric rejected claims that the DOJ's prosecution of Comey represents a misuse of government power by his father.
01:04I'm the subject of 112 subpoenas, never having done a expletive thing wrong in my life, never crossing a line, being a perfect role model, being a perfect model citizen, no laptops from expletive, nothing, he said.
01:18And they came after me like I was a dog.
01:21They tried to impeach my father two times, he said.
01:25They went after him for a Russia hoax that did not exist.
01:28They indicted him 91 times, 34 times in a bogus trial in New York City.
01:34Eric's remarks came days after the Department of Justice charged Comey with lying under oath before Congress in 2020.
01:40While Trump allies have celebrated the move as long overdue accountability, critics argue it reflects Donald's continued influence over the Justice Department, an allegation Eric dismissed outright, claiming we're the real victims of weaponization.
