Former President Donald Trump stuck to a familiar script at a campaign event held hours after he pleaded not guilty Tuesday in a federal court to 37 felony counts connected to his handling of classified documents.
Echoing the arguments he and his allies have made in news interviews, speeches and social media posts, Trump attempted to paint the indictment as “election interference” and “political persecution.”
“I did everything right and they indicted me,” he told supporters gathered at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Tuesday night.
