Former President Donald Trump made his first public speech since being indicted in the alleged mishandling of classified documents probe.
Former President Donald Trump made his first public speech Saturday since his indictment, where he persistently ripped on Special Counsel Jack Smith, the Department of Justice and the FBI and pledged to oust President Joe Biden in 2024.
Trump announced Thursday he’d been informed of the indictment that was released Friday, unveiling 31 counts of alleged violations of the Espionage Act tied with Smith’s documents probe and the August raid on Mar-a-Lago. The former president maintained his stance that the charges are “election interference,” immediately pointing to documents found in Biden’s home.
“Now the marxist left is once again using the same corrupt DOJ and the same corrupt FBI, and the attorney general and the local district attorneys to interfere in our elections at a level that our country, and few countries have ever seen before. They’re cheating, they’re crooked, they’re corrupt,” Trump said in a speech at Georgia’s Republican convention.
