A defiant Donald Trump proclaimed his innocence in a newly released video Thursday after the former president learned he has been indicted in connection with the handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
“Very sadly we’re a nation in decline and yet they go after a popular president, a president that that got more votes than any sitting president in the history of our country, by far, and did much better the second time in the election then the first, and they go after him on a boxes hoax, just like the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, and all of the others,” Trump said, standing in front of a painting wearing a navy suit, white shirt, and a red tie.
“It has been going on for seven years that they can't stop, because it's election interference at the highest level.”
Trump in the four-minute video touted his accomplishments as president and suggested that he’s being prosecuted over his rise in the polls in recent months.
“But when you look at what's happened to our country in the last three years, we were energy independent, we had a strong military that wasn't woke, we were doing so well. We were respected all over the world, we had the biggest tax cuts in history, biggest regulation cuts in history,” Trump said.
“And what do you do, you have the president where an election was taken got more votes than any sitting president in history by far, never anything even close, and they come after me? Because now we're leading in the polls, again, by a lot against Biden and against the Republicans by a lot, but we're leading against Biden by a lot, a tremendous amount."
“And we went up to a level that they figured the only way they're going to stop us is by using what's called 'warfare.' And that's what it is. This is warfare for the law. And we can't let it happen. We can't let it happen.”
