Trump is constantly Projecting, just about every time he opens his mouth on just about any subject, he is projecting.
Be assured, when he accuses anyone of a crime, he is talking about himself.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.
If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.
