‘The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it.’
Former U.S. President Donald Trump addressed his supporters from his property in Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday evening, just hours after he pleaded not guilty to more than 30 felony charges brought forth by George Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

“I never thought anything like this could happen in America,” Trump told his roaring crowd of supporters.
“The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it,” the former president added as the crowd cheered in agreement.
Continuing, Trump referenced that since the outset of his foray into politics, the Democratic Party establishment has been seeking to destroy him, whether it be through spying on his 2016 campaign, accusing him of colluding with Russia, bringing forth an impeachment trial, bringing forth a second impeachment trial, or having the FBI raid his Mar-a-Lago home.
Trump then accused Bragg of being a “radical left George Soros-backed prosecutor,” who is only bringing forth an indictment against him as a way of committing “massive election interference.”
To support this claim, Trump mentioned how Bragg previously boasted about filing over 100 lawsuits against him while serving in the New York Attorney General’s office, and how Bragg had effectively campaigned on investigating the former president.
“Our country is going to hell,” Trump lamented, before switching his tune to exclaim that Bragg’s efforts will fall short.
“Even RINOs and hardcore Democrats say there is no crime, and it [the indictment] should never have been brought [forth],” the businessman charged.
Going on the offensive, Trump said the true “criminal” in this situation is Bragg himself, “because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted, or at a minimum he should resign.”
Trump also touched upon the state of the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) more broadly, for its apparent “pursuing of Republicans,” and its involvement in the censorship of the “Hunter Biden laptop from hell,” as revealed by the “Twitter Files” documents.
“We are a nation in decline,” Trump said as he approached his concluding remarks. “And now these radical left lunatics want to interfere with our elections by using law enforcement. We can’t let that happen!”
Before exiting the stage, Trump signed off in signature fashion, stating, “With all of this being said, and with a very dark cloud over our beloved country, I have no doubt, nevertheless, that we will ‘Make America Great Again!’”
Trump’s remarks came just hours after he appeared in a Manhattan courtroom in front of Acting New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan and pleaded not guilty to all 34 felony charges brought against him by Bragg.
