Eric Trump Says Biden Tried To Get Them Divorced

Eric Trump told Newsmax that President Joe Biden and then-Attorney General Merrick Garland “tried to get him divorced,” alleging the Biden Justice Department schemed to break up Donald and Melania Trump after the August 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. He framed the claim as part of a broader accusation that Democrats and the DOJ have “weaponized” prosecutions against his family, citing impeachments, the Russia investigation, raids, deplatforming, published mug shots and numerous indictments. Melania Trump has said the Mar-a-Lago search made her “angry” and called it an invasion of privacy, but Eric did not provide evidence for a deliberate effort to force a divorce. Multiple news outlets described the divorce claim as unclear or bizarre, and reporters and experts noted some actions he blamed, such as state or local prosecutions, were not driven by the Biden administration. The Mar-a-Lago probe led to seized classified documents and a federal case that was later dismissed in July 2024.
