Former President Donald Trump blasted his historic federal indictment as 'ridiculous' and 'baseless' Saturday during his first public appearance since the charges were unsealed
Former President Donald Trump will make his first public appearances since his federal indictment. Morgan Norwood has more.Former President Donald Trump blasted his historic federal indictment as "ridiculous" and "baseless" Saturday during his first public appearance since the charges were unsealed, painting the 37 felony counts as an attack on his supporters as he tried to turn dire legal peril to political advantage.
The indictment includes allegations that he stored documents in a ballroom and bathroom at his Mar-a-Lago resort, among other places. He also used his remarks to rail against President Joe Biden and his 2016 Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, accusing them of mishandling classified information and insisting he was treated unfairly because he is a Republican. But Trump overlooked a critical difference: Only he has been accused of intentionally trying to impede investigators by not returning the classified documents.
Despite the latest criminal charges, attendees cheered him on in Georgia and eagerly awaited his arrival in North Carolina, where he will speak at the party's convention Saturday evening.
