The former president (2017–2021) and main Republican Party candidate for federal and state offices in the 2024 elections has reacted to the legal charges he faces for his handling of classified documents after federal prosecutors added three felony charges to his case. This situation has become relevant in the midst of his candidacy for a second term.
When asked by conservative radio host John Fredericks if a possible unfavorable ruling would affect his campaign, Trump responded bluntly: “Not at all. There’s nothing in the Constitution that says you should.” In this way, he affirmed that even the detractors of the radical left agreed that he would not stop and described these people as “sick.”
Trump defended his position by mentioning previous presidents, such as Barack Obama and George W. Bush, falsely implying that they had also taken documents from the White House files, suggesting that their conduct was no different from that of their predecessors in the past. alleged crimes charged
He insisted that his situation is unique and complained that “no one has ever been through this” and that it is a completely absurd situation, maintaining that he has done nothing wrong.
It should be noted that the former president was previously indicted in connection with the classified documents last month. According to the court, he is accused of endangering national security by keeping highly confidential information related to nuclear and defense issues in his possession after leaving the White House.
