There’s no gag order —so Trump unloaded.
After his arraignment on 34 charges of ‘falsifying business records,’ former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump flew back to Mar-a-Lago and immediately got in front of a microphone to address the nation.
“I never thought anything like this could happen in America. I never thought it could happen,” Trump said Tuesday night. “The only crime that I have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it.”
“From the beginning, the Democrats spied on my campaign–remember that they attacked me with an onslaught of fraudulent investigations Russia, Russia, Russia; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; impeachment hoax number one; impeachment hoax number two; the illegal and unconstitutional raid on Mar-a-Lago right here; the lying to the FISA court; the FBI and DOJ relentlessly pursuing Republicans; the uncontested judicial changes to election laws by not getting approvals from state legislatures,” Trump said.

From Fox News:
Trump also referred to his impeachments. Trump was the first president in United States history to be impeached and acquitted twice. He also detailed a number of other investigations that clouded his administration.
But Trump, on Tuesday night, slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as a “Soros-backed prosecutor” who “campaigned on the fact that he would get President Trump.”
“A local failed district attorney charging a former President of the United States for the first time in history on a basis that every single pundit and legal analyst said there is no case—there’s no case,” Trump said. “But it’s far worse than that, because he knew there was no case.”
Trump called on Bragg to “resign” after “leaking” details of the indictment to the media before it was unsealed Tuesday.
