Hours after pleading not guilty to allegations of mishandling classified information, Trump gave a speech more focused on winning a campaign than on winning his case in court
in a South Florida courthouse to federal charges of allegedly mishandling classified information, Trump entered the much more friendly confines of his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club, where he delivered an unabashed message to the nation he wants to lead again: If voters send him back to the White House, he will operate on a platform of vengeance that far exceeds anything carried out in his first term.
That’s not without good reason. After Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Brag indicted him for allegedly falsifying business records to cover up hush-money payments to a porn star, Trump raised millions of dollars and soared in the polls. Republicans quickly rallied around him as he positioned himself even more firmly as the 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner.Trump hoped that trend would continue after he was arraigned for the second time in two months.
Trump referred to the “Clinton Socks Case” as providing an exculpatory precedent. After former President Bill Clinton told a historian that he kept audio recordings of White House conversations in a sock drawer, a conservative group sued him in 2010, accusing him of mishandling classified material. Judicial Watch, the organization, wanted the National Archives to assume custody of the tapes, but a U.S. District Judge ruled that they were personal records, not presidential records.
