📢 Former President Trump says Durham probe exposing 'the crime of the century,' predicts it's 'just the beginning.'

"It looks like this is just the beginning, because, if you read the filing and have any understanding of what took place, and I called this a long time ago, you're going to see a lot of other things happening, having to do with what, really, just is a continuation of the crime of the century," Trump told Fox News.
