Trump Rips Jan. 6 Arraignment, Calling It ‘Persecution of a Political Opponent’

By New York Post. Former President Donald Trump blasted the indictment against him as “persecution of a political opponent” not long after pleading not guilty to charges he tried to overturn the 2020 election.

“This is a very sad day for America. And it was also very sad driving through Washington, DC, and seeing the filth and the decay and all of the broken buildings and walls of the graffiti. This is not the place that I left, it’s a very sad thing to see it,” he told reporters before boarding his so-called Trump Force One at Reagan National Airport.

“When you look at what’s happening, this is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in America. This is the persecution of the person that’s leading by very very substantial numbers in the Republican primary and leading Biden by a lot,” he continued.

“So, you can’t beat him you persecute him or you prosecute them. We can’t let this happen in America. Thank you very much.” (Read more from “Trump Rips Jan. 6 Arraignment, Calling It ‘Persecution of a Political Opponent'” HERE)

By Daily Wire. Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to four alleged crimes related to the January 6, 2020, Capitol riot and 2020 election on Thursday.

Trump was arraigned in a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., after a grand jury voted Tuesday to indict the former president on counts of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Trump attorney Alina Habba spoke outside the D.C. courthouse, accusing the Department of Justice of targeting Trump to cover up negative news about President Joe Biden and his family. . .

Trump posted on his social media site, Truth Social, ahead of the court hearing, accusing Biden of corruption.

“Biden and his family steal Millions and Millions of Dollars, including BRIBES from foreign countries, and I’m headed to D.C. to be ARRESTED for protesting a CROOKED ELECTION. UNFAIR VENUE, UNFAIR JUDGE. We are a Nation in Decline. MAGA!” Trump posted. (Read more from “Trump Pleads Not Guilty to 2020 Election Charges During D.C. Arraignment” HERE)
