Former President Donald Trump spoke to reporters outside a courthouse in New York City today, addressing the upcoming trial on March 25th. Trump expressed his belief that there is no case against him and described the situation as election interference.
Trump began by stating that legal scholars and experts have indicated that there is no crime in the case being brought against him. He argued that the charges are a way to hurt his chances in the election because he is leading by a significant margin. Trump further alleged that the case is an example of election interference orchestrated by President Biden's administration, claiming that individuals from Biden's team have been placed in the District Attorney's office to ensure his conviction.
The former president criticized the state of New York, remarking that the streets have become crime-ridden and dirty since he left. He highlighted the high levels of violent crime and accused immigrants of committing new forms of crime, which he referred to as 'Biden-migrant crime.' Trump suggested that the focus should be on addressing violent crime rather than pursuing what he believes is a baseless case against him.
Trump questioned why the case is being rushed and speculated that it is an attempt to harm his election campaign. He indicated that if he was not running for president, the charges would not have been brought against him. The former president expressed his frustration over the impact the trial is having on his ability to campaign in other states, mentioning that he should be in South Carolina instead.
In his remarks, Trump also mentioned his tax history, stating that he has paid nearly $300 million in taxes over the years. He insinuated that the charges against him are politically motivated and part of a larger agenda to remove him from office.
The former president concluded his statements by emphasizing that there is no crime and that he believes everything is politically motivated in New York City. He called for a focus on addressing violent crime and expressed his dissatisfaction with the timing and implications of the trial.
The trial, scheduled for March 25th, will determine the outcome of the case against former President Trump. As the proceedings unfold, both sides will present their arguments, and the court will ultimately make a decision on the validity of the charges brought against him.
