Former President Donald Trump held a press conference at 11 AM ET from the Trump Tower Atrium:
DONALD TRUMP: As far as the trial itself, it was very unfair. We were not allowed to use our election expert, under any circumstances. You saw what happened to some of the witnesses that were on our side. They were literally crucified by this man who looks like an angel, but he is really a devil. It looks so nice and soft. People say he’d seems like such a nice man. If you saw him in action, and you saw that with a certain witness that went through Hell. When we wanted to do things he would not let us do those things. But when the government wanted something they got everything, they got everything they wanted.It was a rigged trial. We wanted a venue change where we could have a fair trial. We did not get it. We wanted a judge change, we wanted a judge that was not conflicted. Obviously he did not do that. Nobody is ever seen anything like it. We had a failed DA, crime is rampant in New York, violent crime, that is what he is supposed to be looking at. Crime is rampant in New York. Yesterday at McDonald’s you had a man with a machete. Who can imagine a machete being wielded in a store come in a place where they are eating and he is rampant and Bragg is down watching a trial on what they call “crimes.””Falsifying business records.” To me it sounds very bad. It is only a misdemeanor but to me it sounds so bad when they say falsifying business records. That is a bad thing for me. You know what falsifying business records is? In the first degree! They say falsifying business records means the legal expense, I paid a lawyer, totally legal, I paid a lawyer a legal expense and a bookkeeper, without any knowledge from me correctly marked it down in the books. A very professional woman, highly respected, she testified, marked it down in the books as a legal expense. A legal expense is a legal expense in the books. It is not sheet rock construction or any other thing. It is a legal expense.Think of that. This is what the falsification of business records were. I said what else are you going to call it? What else are you going to call it?
Trump also said:
TRUMP: “If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. These are bad people. These are, in many cases, I believe, sick people. When you look at our country, what’s happening, where millions and millions of people are flowing in from all parts of the world, not just South America, from Africa, from Asia, from the Middle East, and they’re coming in from jails and prisons, and they’re coming in from mental institutions and insane asylums, they’re coming in from all over the world into our country, and we have a president and a group of fascists that don’t want to do anything about it. Because they could, right now, today, he could stop it. But he’s not. They’re destroying our country. Our country is in very bad shape.”
TRUMP: “Think of it. I’m the leading candidate. I’m leading Biden by a lot, and I’m leading the Republicans to the point where that’s over. So I’m the leading person for president and I’m under a gag order by a man that can’t put two sentences together.”
