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.
00:11In a Newsmax interview, he made the charge while defending his father amid mounting legal troubles.
00:17He spoke as the Justice Department's recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey drew criticism as political retribution.
00:25Eric Trump claimed federal authorities sought to drive a wedge between his father and stepmother.
00:30They raided his home. They raided Mar-a-Lago. They tried to get him divorced. They tried to separate our family.
00:37He alleged agents searched areas during the 2022 FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago, including Melania's closet and Barron Trump's bedroom,
00:46as part of a judge-authorized probe into Donald's retention of classified government documents.
00:50Speaking on Newsmax with Rob Schmidt, Eric Trump rejected claims DOJ's prosecution of Comey reflects misuse by his father.
00:59I'm the subject of 112 subpoenas, never having done an expletive thing wrong in my life, never crossing a line,
01:06being a perfect role model, being a perfect model citizen, no laptops from hell, nothing, he said.
01:12And they came after me like I was a dog.
01:14He also blamed Attorney General Merrick Garland and Biden personally for leading what he called a politically motivated crusade.
01:22They tried to impeach my father two times, he said.
01:26They went after him for a Russia hoax that did not exist.
01:29They indicted him 91 times, 34 times in a bogus trial in New York City.
01:36Eric's remarks came days after the Department of Justice charged Comey with lying under oath before Congress in 2020.
01:42Legal experts have widely criticized the indictment, calling it weak and politically motivated.
01:48While Trump allies celebrated the move as long overdue accountability,
01:52critics argue it reflects Donald Trump's continued influence over the Justice Department.
01:57Eric dismissed that allegation saying,
01:59we're the real victims of weaponization.
