- Former President Donald Trump cast himself as a defiant warrior against President Biden’s “Stalinist” tactics Saturday in his first live comments since the unsealing of a 49-page, 37-count federal indictment on charges of mishandling classified documents.
- “They tried to frame me for treason and now they’re trying to do it again,” Trump said at a rally-like appearance before a crowd of more than 3,500 Republican state party delegates and guests at the Columbus Convention and Trade Center in Columbus, Ga.
- “Biden is trying to jail his leading political opponent … just like they do in Stalinist Russia or in communist China,” Trump railed.
