Republican Nominee & former President of the United States, me, with as many crimes as can be concocted so that he is forced to spend large amounts of time & money to defend himself.”
It continues: “The Dems don’t want to run against me or they would not be doing this unprecedented weaponization of “Justice.” BUT SOON, IN 2024, IT WILL BE OUR TURN. MAGA!”

The ex-president argues the indictment is politically motivated and an legal professional for Mr Trump accused the DoJ of getting “criminalised” Mr Trump’s First Amendment proper to free speech.
There is vast disagreement with this evaluation, notably from Mr Trump’s legal professional basic from his personal administration, Bill Barr.
“As the indictment says, they’re not attacking his First Amendment right, he can say whatever he wants he can even lie, he can even tell people that ‘the election was stolen’ when he knew better but that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy,” Mr Barr mentioned on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins.
He added: “Free speech doesn’t give you the right to engage in a fraudulent conspiracy.”
