Trump spoke of the “most vicious and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country”. It’s “political persecution” like in a “fascist or communist country,” said the Republican at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
The ex-president and candidate for the 2024 presidential election had previously pleaded not guilty to the documents affair in a federal court in Miami. The Republican was charged last week on 37 counts in the affair involving secret documents hoarded in his private home, Mar-a-Lago. He is accused, among other things, of illegally keeping secret files and conspiring to obstruct justice.
