"Trump's Criminal Charges and Arraignment: Updates and Reactions"

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a Manhattan court and accused New York prosecutor Alvin Bragg of bringing criminal charges against him for political reasons. Trump declared himself the victim of election interference without offering evidence and accused his opponents of using the legal system to stop him from winning back the White House in 2024. Trump gave a relatively short speech to his supporters at his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, but did not call for new protests from his supporters.
