The town hall was the second in which Trump appeared in a single month. The previous one was held in New Hampshire May 10 with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.
The audience cheered “U.S.A.” at the former president as he entered the auditorium.
Hannity asked Trump if he knew anything about the report that the special counsel is in possession of an audio recording in which the ex-president acknowledged that he understood that the documents he had were classified.
“Do you know who this call may be with?” Hannity asked Trump.
“No, I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said.
“Everything I did was right. We have the Presidential Records Act, which I abided by 100%”
Trump quickly pivoted to making unfounded allegations that President Joe Biden committed more egregious offenses handling documents when he was vice president.
“Biden has 1,850 boxes with a lot of classified stuff that he's not supposed to have in his case,” Trump said.
“I have the right to declassify as president. He's got 1,850 boxes that he doesn't want anyone to see. He had seven or eight boxes in Chinatown in Washington D.C. where nobody even speaks English in Chinatown."
“Chinatown is very, it's in favor of China. And he has boxes in Chinatown. They took those boxes and they sent him to Boston to his lawyer so his lawyer could look through them, and probably do things that you're not supposed to do.”
Trump insisted the allegations against him are “about election interference.”
“It's a continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all time,” Trump said.
“It's a hoax, and it has to do more than anything else with trying to interfere with the election.”

Trump added: “I've been going through this for seven years, Russia, Russia, Russia, all of it. The Mueller Report, which was no collusion, after two and a half years, there was no collusion with Russia. It was the worst thing.
“(Vladimir) Putin would say, ‘You know they say you like me. You are the worst guy that we've ever had to deal with.’”
