Former President Donald Trump denounced election interference on Monday as he arrived in a Manhattan courthouse to begin the fourth week of his criminal trial.
Trump believes the numerous charges against him are aimed at politically sabotaging his re-election campaign, backed by reports of multiple meetings between the Biden administration and Trump prosecutors.
“Rather than sit in a very cold courthouse all day, you should go campaigning now,” Trump told reporters outside the courtroom. “This is an indictment of Biden. This is a level of election interference that no one in this country has ever seen.”
“This is all coming from the White House,” Trump said.
Establishment media recently acknowledged that Trump’s opponents, who have taken legal action against him, have been unable to stop the biggest political comeback in history.

“It shows that we have a significant lead everywhere,” Trump told reporters. President Trump said he is “leading in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Georgia and Nevada.” “[In] Nevada, which actually has a 12 point lead, is a generally Democratic state. ”
The Associated Press reported that President Trump’s comments about election interference were made when Michael Cohen took the stand to testify at Trump’s trial.
The long-awaited testimony from Trump’s former lawyer and personal fixer comes after prosecutors made breathtaking developments in a case that ultimately hinges on record-keeping. Become.
