Hours after becoming the first former president to be indicted in U.S. history, Donald Trump gave a rambling speech at Mar-a-Lago, presenting himself as a victim of the political establishment and airing grievances about his perceived enemies in what appeared to be an attempt to rally his followers for his 2024 presidential campaign.
Trump has been indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney's office on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to his hush money payments to three individuals — an adult film actress, a former Playboy model, and a former Trump Tower doorman in New York, all of whom the president allegedly paid to keep silent about his extramarital affairs before the 2016 election.
