"Today we witnessed the most evil and heinous abusive power in the history of our country,” Trump said at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club Tuesday evening."More importantly, it's a political persecution like something straight out of a fascist or communist nation.
Trump and his personal aide Walt Nauta were indicted by special counsel Jack Smith over allegations of mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House and appeared at Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. U.S. Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday afternoon. It's an unprecedented moment in American history, leaving an uncharted path forward for both the nation and the Republican Party ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Trump faces 37 felony counts for willingly retaining and concealing national security documents, making false statements, conspiring to obstruct justice, and refusing National Archives requests to return the documents. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges earlier on Tuesday. However, Trump is banned from speaking with potential witnesses about the case, including Nauta, who faces six criminal counts related to the classified documents.
"When I'm reelected, and we will get reelected — we have no choice; we're not going to have a country anymore — I will totally obliterate the deep state," Trump said.
