Donald Trump Indicted In New York City, Setting Up An Unprecedented Circumstance

Trump remained defiant in the face of these charges. In a statement released Thursday, Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina said that Trump “did not commit any crime,” and labeled the charges a “political prosecution.” Trump, who is currently the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination for 2024, released an angry statement, calling the charges “Political Persecution and Election Interference” attacking DA Bragg, President Joe Biden, and Democratic donor George Soros, among others; his statement also brought up a number of other scandals, including his two impeachments and the raid of his Mar-a-Lago resort to recover classified documents.
