The former president of the United States donald trump said Friday that he will maintain his candidacy to return to the White House if found guilty and sentenced in any of the criminal investigations carried out against him.
The reaction of the former president (2017-2021) and main candidate of the Republican Party to the federal and state charges he faces at the judicial level in the midst of his bid for a second term in the 2024 elections comes a day after federal prosecutors added three felony counts to the indictment against him for his handling of documents classified.
When the conservative radio host john fredericks Asked if an unfavorable ruling would halt his campaign, Trump quickly replied: “Not at all. There is nothing in the Constitution that says it should.”
According to Trump, “Even the nuts on the radical left say no, that wouldn’t stop me, and it wouldn’t stop me either. These people are sick.”
Trump stressed that previous presidents, including the Democrat Barack Obama (2009-2017) and the Republican George W. Bush (2001-2009), “took documents” from White House files, falsely suggesting that his predecessors had engaged in conduct similar to the alleged crimes for which he is accused.
“No one has ever been through this. This is crazy,” he added, arguing that he had done nothing wrong.
The Republican tycoon, who has survived two congressional impeachments, was first indicted in the classified documents case last month.
According to the court, he is responsible for endangering national security by keeping top-secret nuclear and defense information in his possession after leaving the White House.
