Former President Trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 federal felony charges filed against him, and has condemned his indictment as 'the most heinous abuse of power in the history of our country.' The charges are related to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into alleged improper retention of classified records at Mar-a-Lago. Included in the charges are willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements.

During a public statement on Tuesday night from his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump referred to Smith as a 'deranged lunatic,' and criticized President Biden, calling his administration's actions 'election interference.' Trump accused Biden of having 'his top political opponent arrested and charged.'

The former president claimed that he was being subjected to 'political persecution like something straight out of a fascist or communist nation.' Trump also attacked the decision to use the Espionage Act to prosecute him: 'The Espionage Act has been used to refer to traitors and spies. It has nothing to do with a former president legally keeping his own documents.'
