As the Tagesspiegel, the Berliner Zeitung as well as Focus Online report, Trump has now spoken out about all of this ordeal during a speech in the US state of New Hampshire after the renewed indictment against him and openly criticized the US judiciary system.
In his opinion, he says he is on trial for 'bulls***' and therefore could not take part in election campaign events. Even though Trump has never made a secret of his dislike for the way he is treated, this is the first time he has been so abusive - but his supporters seem to like it.

For Trump, it is now his third indictment altogether - nevertheless, he continues to speculate on a candidacy in the 2024 presidential elections. Whether he could even legitimately serve as president in light of the current legal proceedings against him is questionable.
For the former president, however, it remains as clear as day: the charges against him are supposedly nothing more than political persecution in which the 'sitting president' - Joe Biden - aims to 'bring him down' as a political opponent.
