Trump: I had the legal authority to keep the records

Donald Trump arrived in federal court in Miami, escorted by two of his lawyers, and pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal allegations.

His defensive unit is still incomplete, as at least three crucial guys have gone in recent weeks.

Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to accusations that he illegally kept sensitive national security materials after leaving office and lied to authorities who requested him to surrender them.

He stated in front of his supporters in New Jersey that he had every right to collect these records.

“Whatever document a president decides to take with him, he has the right to do so. It is an absolute right. This is the law.”

“But threatening me with 400 years in prison for possessing my presidential papers, which almost every other president has done, is one of the wildest legal theories ever presented in an American court. ”

” The Espionage Act was used to pursue traitors and spies. “

The former president claimed that the prosecution were attempting to harm his political career.

“I will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America, Joe Biden and his entire family. “

“I am the only one who can save this nation. On November 5, 2024, justice will be served. We will take our country and make America great again.”

Mr. Trump’s speech in front of Judge Jonothan Goodman in Miami Federal Court signals the start of a legal struggle that will likely last months as the former President campaigns to recapture the White House in the Nov. 24, 2024, election.

The trial might take a year or more, according to experts.
