Trump made his remarks in Bedminster, N.J., after appearing at a Miami federal courthouse to enter his plea earlier that day. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and characterized special counsel Jack Smith's bringing of charges against him as part of an ongoing Democrat-led political persecution of him.
"Today we witness the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country," he said. "A corrupt sitting president had his top political opponent arrested on fake and fabricated charges of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty right in the middle of a presidential election in which he is losing very badly."
