Former President Donald Trump on Thursday made the curious legal argument that he didn't commit a crime even if he was guilty of committing one.
Standing outside a courthouse in Manhattan, the former president raged at having to spend time defending himself against allegations that he committed financial fraud related to his hush-money payments to an adult film star, and he blamed President Joe Biden for all of his legal woes despite the fact that the current case is being pursued by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
"We're here for something that is not a crime!" he ranted. "Nobody's ever seen anything like what it is, it is election interference being run by Joe Biden's White House!" His top person was placed here... This is a terrible time for our country. This is a real dark period for our country."

Trump then reiterated that he didn't commit a crime even if he did falsify records related to paying off Stormy Daniels.
"Virtually every legal scholar says they don't understand that there's no crime even if he was guilty of something, there's no crime!" he shouted. "So, I will say that enjoy it. It's a sad thing. It's a sad day for New York."
