From the historic court hearing in Florida, former US President Donald Trump flew north to his golf course in New Jersey. Donald Trump was there among his own. He called the indictment evil and despicable. – Today we witnessed the most evil and hateful abuse of power in our country’s history. Very sad to see a corrupt sitting president arrange to arrest his biggest political challenger, based on false and fabricated charges that he and other presidents had also been guilty of. In the middle of a presidential election that he is about to lose, Trump said to his followers. Former President Donald Trump commented on the indictment last night Norwegian time.

At a public meeting, Trump had, among other things, invited monetary donors to his own election campaign: Those who contribute $100,000 or more also received join a candlelit dinner, according to the New York Times. The New York Times described the gathering in New Jersey as “another reality.” Repeated allegations of electoral fraud Trump also repeated the allegations of electoral fraud, claiming that the indictment against him is an attempt to steal the victory in next year’s presidential election. – This is called interference with elections and is another attempt to steal a presidential election. Even more important. This is a political prosecution as taken out of a fascist or communist country, Trump said. – Biden will not only be remembered as the most corrupt president in our country’s history, but also as the president who, together with his conspirators, tried to destroy American democracy, he said further. In Florida, a few hours earlier, Donald Trump had to appear in court where a judge read out 37 serious charges. 31 of the points concern violations of US espionage laws. – Absolutely not guilty Through his lawyer Todd Blanche, Donald Trump pleaded not guilty. – We absolutely do not plead guilty, said Blanche. Trump himself sat silently in court with his arms crossed, wearing a black suit and red tie. No photographers or journalists were allowed to bring cameras or telephones into the courtroom. It is Donald Trump’s handling of top secret documents, several of them containing information about national security, that has led to the extensive indictment. Among other things, he is charged with keeping information about national security, concealing that he keeps classified documents, lying to the FBI when asked about the documents. “Indicting a former president of the United States for being in possession of my own presidential papers, as every other president has done, is one of the most outrageous and evil things ever done in an American court,” Trump raged. Trump himself believes that he has done nothing wrong. “An espionage law that has been used to go after traitors and spies has nothing to do with a former president who has legally kept his own documents,” the former president continued. Donald Trump was repeatedly asked to return the classified documents.

Trump risks decades in prison if found guilty. Trump is also charged in a court in New York with offenses related to the payment of hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels.

The election campaign begins There are presidential elections in the United States next year, and both parties will choose who will represent them. Before the indictment, Donald Trump clearly led on the Republican side.
