Former President Donald Trump spoke out publicly for the first time since being indicted on 37 felony counts for withholding and conspiring to hide secret national security documents. During his appearance at the North Carolina Republican Party’s annual convention, he repeated his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him and attacked the special counsel who indicted him, calling him a “thug,” “deranged,” and a “Trump hater.” He also railed against the politically motivated indictment and claimed that he did nothing wrong.
The charges against Trump carry sentences of up to 20 years in federal prison if he is convicted, but Trump reiterated that he had a right to the documents and denied obstructing justice. Trump also hinted at possible violence during his remarks, saying that “our people are angry” and that “sometimes you need strength.”
Trump is now facing two separate indictments, one from Miami’s federal court and one from New York City on charges of falsifying business records. He also faces two open criminal investigations related to his actions leading up to and during his Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt and his attempt to coerce state officials into overturning his election loss in Georgia. Despite these legal challenges, Trump remains a popular figure within the Republican Party.
