Donald Trump alleges that President Joe Biden, a Democrat, orchestrated the criminal charges in order to undermine his main political rival's presidential campaign.
Former President Donald Trump used the first public appearance since his federal indictment to ratchet up attacks on the Justice Department, accusing prosecutors, without evidence, of a politically motivated campaign to keep him from the White House.
“The ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the Biden administration’s weaponized department of injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country,” Trump told the crowd of local party officials.His remarks came one day after prosecutors unsealed a 37-count indictment against him, alleging he mishandled classified documents that included some of the country’s most sensitive security secrets after leaving the White House in 2021.
The indictment of a former U.S. president on federal charges is unprecedented in American history and came as Trump is the clear front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination next year. He is due to make a first appearance in the case in a Miami court on Tuesday, June 6, a day before his 77th birthday.
