“I never imagined this possible in America,” exclaimed Donald Trump on Tuesday evening about his indictment, hours after his historic appearance in a New York court.

Earlier on Tuesday, he pleaded not guilty to falsification of accounting documents: Donald Trump is accused of having “orchestrated” a series of payments to cover up three “embarrassing” cases before the 2016 presidential election.
“Fraudulent” investigations
“It’s massive electoral interference,” Donald Trump denounced to his supporters in Florida on Tuesday evening, strongly criticizing the New York prosecutor who is an elected Democrat.
The billionaire spoke at length about each of the other investigations he is the subject of, from his pressure on election officials in Georgia to the management of his White House archives, castigating each time investigations “fraudulent”.
During his rambling speech of about twenty minutes, the former tenant of the White House also, as usual, mentioned his accusations of “fraud” in the presidential election of 2020, replaying a well-known score, to which adhere still millions of his followers.
