The cases stem from accusations that he mishandled US government secrets.Donald Trump is due in court Tuesday to face dozens of felony counts of mishandling US government secrets, in the most serious yet of a firestorm of criminal probes threatening to derail his bid to win back the White House.
"There's never been anything like it. A witch hunt like this has never taken place," Trump told a local conservative Hispanic radio station after arriving in Miami from his summer home in New Jersey on Monday. The runaway frontrunner in the 2024 Republican primary has vowed to stay in the race regardless of the outcome of the case - touching off a White House campaign that, for the first time in US history, pits a legal battle against an electoral one.
Trump is expected to fly to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, afterward to restate his innocence in a speech before supporters. Trump's allies in Congress and rivals for the presidential nomination have largely circled the wagons following his latest indictment, decrying the"weaponisation" of the government against conservatives.
