Monday, August 24, 2026 -US President Donald Trump has claimed that some people died by suicide over the way they were treated by the administration of former U.S. President Joe Biden, but did not identify the individuals or provide evidence to support the allegation.
Trump made the claim during a full interview with WABC
alongside former personal lawyer Michael Cohen on Sunday, August 23.
“We had many suicides, people committed suicide over this,”
Trump said, before blaming what he described as “vicious people” in the Biden
administration. Trump also criticised the administration of former President
Barack Obama and turned his attention to former government officials who have
since moved into private-sector and media roles.
He claimed that some former officials now work at Microsoft,
while others appear on CNN. Trump specifically criticised former FBI personnel
who became television commentators, referring to them as “FBI slobs” and
accusing them of being “dirty cops.”
The president did not provide details about the
investigations or individuals he was referring to, and did not name anyone he
claimed had died by suicide. The remarks came as Trump and Cohen have resumed a
relationship that had previously deteriorated into a bitter public feud.
Cohen, who was once Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, said
last month that the two were “reconciling” and putting their past differences
aside after private meetings at Bedminster and Mar-a-Lago. Their renewed
relationship has since become public, with Cohen appearing alongside Trump for
the WABC interview.
