In a startling revelation, a new book accuses the Biden administration of orchestrating a legal campaign against President Donald Trump to influence the 2024 presidential election.
According to Breitbart, the book, titled "Breaking the Law: Exposing the Weaponization of America’s Legal System Against Donald Trump" by Alexander Marlow, claims the White House coordinated with various government entities and Democratic figures to jail or financially cripple Trump ahead of the vote.
The allegations suggest that this strategy, often referred to as "lawfare," began taking shape as early as 2022, with multiple legal actions initiated against Trump. According to the book, the intent was clear: to prevent Trump from securing the presidency again by exhausting his time, resources, and focus through courtroom battles. It is claimed that Biden’s inner circle believed Trump would be incarcerated before Election Day in 2024.
The book details six major legal cases against Trump that unfolded between his two administrations, comprising four criminal and two civil lawsuits. These cases, it is alleged, were not isolated but had direct ties to the Biden White House, which could have intervened to halt the prosecutions but did not. Each lawsuit reportedly aimed to either imprison Trump or drain his finances, often forcing him to campaign from courthouses instead of the trail.
One prominent case involves the so-called "hush money" payments related to Stormy Daniels, which the book describes as a prosecution for falsifying business records. This case, led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, resulted in 34 felony convictions against Trump, despite being considered the weakest of the six. Bragg, reportedly funded by philanthropist George Soros, worked with prosecutor Matthew Colangelo, who previously held a senior role in the Biden Department of Justice.
The presiding judge, Juan Merchan, is noted as a Biden donor, while his daughter, Loren Merchan, has raised significant funds for Democratic causes. Trump himself called Merchan’s involvement "the greatest conflict of interest of all time," highlighting the perceived bias in the proceedings. Similarly, in Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis pursued a RICO case against Trump with alleged White House coordination.
Willis’s prosecutor, Nathan Wade, reportedly met with White House counsel for extended periods in May and November 2022, before Trump’s indictment in August 2023. Willis herself met with Vice President Kamala Harris in February 2023, while a former Biden aide, Jeff DeSantis, allegedly facilitated communication between her office and the administration. These interactions, as described in the book, suggest a pattern of coordination aimed at politically damaging Trump.
Another significant legal effort came through Special Counsel Jack Smith, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland in November 2022, around the same time as other alleged White House coordinations. Smith, whose team included donors to Biden and Obama, operated for 18 months before his appointment was later ruled unconstitutional. The book also highlights civil cases, such as the defamation lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll, allegedly funded by Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman, who visited the White House multiple times in 2022.
Trump commented on the Carroll case, stating, "They tried to embarrass me before the election," underscoring the timing of the legal action. Additionally, New York Attorney General Letitia James pursued a case accusing Trump of inflating property values, securing a nearly half-billion-dollar judgment despite no apparent victims. James, who openly expressed intent to target Trump, visited the White House on several occasions in 2022 and 2023, according to the book.
The book further notes connections in James’s case to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer through Judge Arthur Engoron’s clerk, Allison Greenfield, who reportedly exceeded donation limits to Democrats. Trump remarked on Greenfield’s involvement, alleging, "Schumer’s girlfriend, Alison R. Greenfield, is running this case against me." He also suggested Greenfield anticipated a federal judgeship if Biden had won, pointing to political motivations behind the legal efforts.
The overarching narrative in Marlow’s work is that these legal battles represent a concerted effort by the Biden administration to subvert democracy by targeting a political opponent. Quotes attributed to Biden, such as "We gotta lock him up" from October 2024, are cited as evidence of intent at the highest levels. Another Biden statement from November 9, 2024, is included: "We just have to demonstrate that he [Trump] will not take power, if he does run, making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next president again."
Trump has described these actions as "a Biden prosecution" and "election interference at a level that nobody in this country has ever seen before." The book warns that if Democrats had succeeded in blocking Trump’s election through these means, it would have been the most significant political scandal in modern history. Yet, no accountability has been imposed on those allegedly involved, except through the actions of voters at the polls.
Marlow calls for immediate investigations by Congress or the U.S. Office of Special Counsel to uncover the full extent of White House involvement in these legal maneuvers. Without consequences, the book argues, similar tactics could be employed to undermine democratic processes in future elections. Disturbingly, it suggests that such strategies may already be in motion for upcoming political contests.
"Breaking the Law" is available in hardcover, eReader format, and as an audiobook narrated by the author himself. The book has received an endorsement from Trump, who called it a "must read" for those seeking to understand the alleged legal campaign against him. As these claims continue to surface, they raise critical questions about the intersection of law, politics, and electoral integrity in the United States.
