Former US President Donald Trump presented himself aggressively to supporters following his appearance in federal court on charges related to the documents affair. “They want to take my freedom away from me because I will never let them take your freedom away from you,” Trump said Tuesday evening (local time) to the cheers of his supporters at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey.
“They want to shut me up because I will never let them shut you up.” Trump fired up his supporters, once once more saying, “You know they’re not following me. They’re following you and I just happen to be in their way.” He will never give way, said the Republican presidential candidate. “I’m the only one who can save this nation.” With a view to the date of the next presidential election, he exclaimed: “Justice will be served on November 5, 2024.”
Trump once once more denounced US President Joe Biden as “corrupt” and accused the Democratic incumbent of wanting to eliminate him as a political competitor and trying to destroy American democracy “together with a gang of criminals and Marxists”. The Republican once once more accused the special investigator in the affair of Trump’s handling of secret government documents, Jack Smith, as “insane” and “criminal”. Trump said if he were re-elected, he would appoint a special counsel to deal with Biden and his “criminal family”.
Trump became the first ex-US President to appear before a federal court on Tuesday to face indictment. He had to appear in person before the court in Miami, where the allegations in the affair of secret government documents were officially opened to him. As expected, Trump pleaded “not guilty”.
He is accused, among other things, of illegally storing highly sensitive government information from his tenure. The federal police FBI had searched Trump’s private home Mar-a-Lago in Florida in August and confiscated numerous classified documents, some with the highest classification level.
