In front of 2,000 Americans who gathered on Saturday, June 10 to hear him in Columbus, Georgia, former US President Donald Trump gave his first response to the charges against him.
Trump once again declared his innocence at the annual Georgia Republican Party convention and his goal to dismantle what he called the “biased federal law enforcement apparatus.”
“After all, they’re not after me. They’re after you – and I’m just standing in their wayTrump said.
“The ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the Biden administration’s instrumentalized “Department of Injustice” will go down as one of the most egregious abuses of power in our country’s history“, he said. The Democrats have said it too. This savage prosecution is a travesty of justice».
It was preceded by the announcement of the 37-count indictment against Trump by special counsel Jack Smith for allegedly masterminding a scheme to keep sensitive material in his possession from his time as president.
Trump allegedly not only withheld classified documents, but lied to federal agents and investigators about his involvement.
If the charges are verified, then Trump risks being the first president in the US to be imprisoned for the rest of his life.
“One class became 34”
Trump has repeatedly mocked the indictment and called Smith “outraged” and said the Justice Department was a “sick nest of people that needs to be cleaned out.”
“They took one category and made it 37,” Trump said. “It’s a political success.”
Tellingly, the crowd was positive about Trump — with some holding signs that read “The FBI is the DNC to the KGB” — despite the fact that it’s in a state won by Joe Biden.
Several of those in attendance wore stickers with a red line over the word “voting machines,” indicating their belief that the 2020 election had been stolen.
