Trump rails against ‘bulls***’ charges in latest angry rant over indictment

Former president Donald Trump decried the multiple charges and indictments, calling them “bulls***,” during a rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday afternoon.

Mr Trump spoke during a rally in the state that holds the first presidential primary and the one that gave him his first primary win in 2016.

The twice-impeached and now three-times-indicted former president said that President Joe Biden’s administration indicted him to hamper his 2024 run despite the fact that Attorney General Merrick Garland nominated Special Counsel Jack Smith to handle the probes into Mr Trump independently.

“How can my corrupt political opponent, crooked Joe Biden put me on trial during an election campaign that I’m winning by a lot, but forcing me nevertheless to spend time and money away from the campaign trail in order to fight bogus made up accusations and charges,” he said.

“So what they’re doing, I’m sorry, I won’t be able to go to Iowa today. I won’t be able to go to New Hampshire today because I’m sitting in a courtroom on bulls**t because his Attorney General charged me,” he said.

In response, attendees in Windham proceeded to chant “bulls**t.”

Last week, a federal grand jury indicted Mr Trump for his alleged plot to overthrow the 2020 election after a four-hour presentation by Mr Smith. The indictment came after a federal grand jury had indicted him in June on 37 charges stemming from the Department of Justice’s into his possession of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago.

On Friday, Mr Trump pleaded not guilty to a 40-count superseding indictment in the same case in the Southern District of Florida.
