TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Donald Trump issued a scathing response to his indictment by a Manhattan grand jury, describing it as ‘political persecution’ and election interference at the highest level in history and warning that the ‘witch-hunt’ will backfire massively on United States President Joe Biden. The former US president was indicted on Thursday in a case involving alleged hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
The historic indictment is the first time a President has been charged in a criminal matter and comes as 76-year-old Trump is mounting his third bid for the White House. After it was reported that the Manhattan grand jury had voted to criminally indict him, Trump, a Republican, issued a wrathful response, denouncing it in a lengthy statement as ‘political persecution and election interference at the highest level in history’.
‘From the time I came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower, and even before I was sworn in as your President of the United States, the radical left Democrats — the enemy of the hard-working men and women of this country — have been engaged in a witch-hunt to destroy the ‘Make America Great Again’ movement,’ he said. ‘You remember it just like I do: Russia, Russia, Russia; the Mueller Hoax; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine; Impeachment Hoax 1; Impeachment Hoax 2; the illegal and unconstitutional Mar-a-Lago raid; and now this,’ the 76-year-old former President said in a statement.
