Trump said, "They started a series of witch hunts to stop our (presidential) movement and frustrate the will of the American people," urging his supporters to rise up by adding, "In the end, they are not after me, they are after you."

Referring to the Department of Justice, the prosecuting body, Trump renamed it the "Department of Injustice," using the word "Injustice" meaning "illegal" and "unfair," and said, "The weaponized department of the Biden administration indicting me without basis will be recorded as the most horrific abuse of power in our country's history."

AP News reported, "Trump claimed the indictment was an attack on his supporters and tried to turn his legal risks into political gains."

Former President Trump faces a total of 37 legal violations, including possession of defense-related classified documents, concealment of investigated documents, and false statements.
