Hours after pleading not guilty in Miami to criminal charges stemming from his hoarding of secret government documents, former President Donald Trump delivered an angry, campaign-style speech at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club.
Speaking at one of the very locations at the center of the federal case against him, Trump repeated his favorite talking points portraying himself as victim and President Biden and the government as “thugs.”
“It’s a political persecution like something straight out of a fascist or communist nation,” Trump said of charges he illegally took secret documents and refused to hand them back to authorities.
