Former President Donald Trump made a statement in New York addressing ongoing legal matters, including an appeal related to a verdict he described as 'ridiculous.' Trump asserted that he had not been in contact with anyone from Russia in years and labeled the situation as a 'scam.'
The appeal in question involved a woman who Trump claimed he had never met, but who had written a book containing what he referred to as a 'ridiculous story.' He criticized the judge overseeing the case, Judge Lewis Kaplan, whom he accused of being biased and hostile, alleging ties to the Clintons.
Trump expressed his desire for fair treatment in the legal proceedings, highlighting the importance of impartial judges. He contrasted the perceived hostility of certain judges with others whom he believed to be fair and just.
Transitioning to economic matters, Trump touched on job numbers, which he described as 'horrible' and criticized the media for purportedly not reporting on them. He emphasized the need for fairness in both legal and economic contexts.
Trump raised concerns about what he characterized as a coordinated effort involving the Department of Justice (DOJ) to undermine his campaign and reputation. He alleged that various legal cases, including those in Atlanta and Fonny, were orchestrated by the DOJ, which he derisively referred to as the 'Department of Injustice.'
He accused the DOJ of collaborating with local officials, such as district attorneys, to target him unfairly. Trump claimed that cases were being brought in areas with overwhelmingly Democratic leanings and hostile judges, whom he criticized for their alleged bias.
In his statement, Trump painted a picture of systemic injustice and political manipulation, positioning himself as a victim of a concerted effort to discredit him. He vowed to continue fighting against what he perceived as unjust legal actions and vowed to keep his supporters informed about the challenges he faced.
