He also attacked the judge presiding over the case, Justice Juan Merchan, calling him a \u201cTrump-hating judge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to get President Trump at any cost,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAs it turns out, everyone who has looked at this case \u2026 says there is no crime and it should never have been brought. Never have been brought.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an insult to our country,\u201d he added, \u201cand the world is already laughing at us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s remarks before a friendly crowd that included allies such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) came just after he returned to Florida from New York, where he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts, including falsifying business records and conspiracy in connection to multiple hush money payments.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s indictment has been expected. Law enforcement officials in Manhattan offered him the opportunity last month to testify before the grand jury looking into the matter, signaling charges were likely. That was followed by Trump wrongly predicting that he would be arrested.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Trump made clear that he wasn\u2019t only focused on those charges. He also went after law enforcement officials in Georgia and Washington, D.C., investigating other potential crimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>In particular, he attacked special counsel Jack Smith, who\u2019s investigating his efforts to subvert the 2020 presidential election, accusing Smith of \u201cthreatening\u201d his allies with jail time in order to force them to cooperate with his inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have this Jack Smith lunatic threatening people every single day through his representatives,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThey\u2019re threatening jail terms. But talk about Trump and you\u2019ll go free.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the country in which we live in, however, right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>He also defended his handling of classified documents he took with him upon leaving the White House in 2021, saying he took the documents \u201cin good faith\u201d and was being treated unfairly by the National Archives and Records Administration.<\/p>\n<p>He also rehashed older grievances, mentioning the FBI\u2019s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u2019s use of a private email server during her tenure as the nation\u2019s top diplomat and bringing up his two impeachments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the beginning, the Democrats spied on my campaign,\u201d he said. \u201cRemember that? They attacked me with an onslaught of fraudulent inventions. Russia, Russia, Russia. Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The remarks were relatively brief, by Trump\u2019s standards, lasting just under half an hour. Still, they telegraphed how the former president plans to make his various legal entanglements a central part of his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Since winning the White House in 2016, Trump has sought to cast himself as the target of a so-called \u201cdeep state\u201d intent on weeding out anyone whom it sees as a threat to its power. During his time in Washington, he faced impeachment twice.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet while Republicans have rallied around him amid his indictment in New York, many have urged the party, both publicly and privately, to move on to a new standard bearer without Trump\u2019s political and legal baggage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who hasn\u2019t yet announced a presidential campaign, is widely seen as Trump\u2019s most serious primary challenger, though recent polls show him slipping as GOP voters rush to Trump\u2019s defense in the face of the indictment.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Trump has put his legal troubles front-and-center in the 2024 Republican primary. In his remarks on Thursday, he turned to a familiar line, warning that the United States \u201cis going to hell\u201d and needed him to save it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a nation in decline. And now these radical left lunatics want to interfere with our elections by using law enforcement.
