- Former President Donald Trump said Tuesday in Florida that he is a victim of “political persecution,” referring to the 34 charges for which he has been charged by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The charges stem from allegations the former president falsified business records in connection with payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
- Trump told his supporters that he “never thought that something like this could happen in America.”
