Trump Criticizes New Accusation Regarding Capitol Assault
He described the judicial process as an «unprecedented abuse of the judicial system,» shocking after the recent Supreme Court ruling.
He recalled that the case centers on a conspiracy to obstruct the 2020 elections, culminating in the Capitol assault.
On January 6, 2021, nearly 800 Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, resulting in five deaths and 140 injuries.
Trump argued that the Democrats, not he, were the real obstructors of the election, suggesting orchestrated fraud.
He referred to an admission by Mark Zuckerberg about hiding information, linking it with sabotage to democracy.
He accused Kamala Harris of leading a movement against him, which, according to him, negatively influences voter intention polls.

He emphasized that the Supreme Court had already ruled that presidential immunity should apply, which should lead to the case being dismissed.
Donald Trump anticipates that citizens will recognize the charges as corrupt and vote for him in an «overwhelming victory» on November 5.
In messages via email and social networks, he emphatically declared that he «will never surrender,» showing his determination to continue fighting.
The Supreme Court granted him partial immunity, distinguishing between official acts, which are protected, and unofficial ones, which are not.
The accusation against Trump was reduced in length, eliminating certain allegations related to his influence on the Department of Justice.
The Supreme Court’s decision in July indicated that Trump would not face charges for official interactions with the Department of Justice.
