Former President Donald Trump told a room of his religious supporters that he “is being indicted for you,” and promised to overhaul the “weaponized” Department of Justice.
Speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition gala in Washington DC on Saturday night, Trump slammed the two indictments he is currently facing as he looks to reclaim the White House in 2024.
He said he considers each new indictment against him a “badge of honor.”
“I’m being indicted for you and I believe that ‘you’ is more than 200 million people who love our country,” the former president said to applause. “This is a continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all time.”
“They want to interfere with the upcoming election, they want to demean, insult … whatever’s necessary to win,” he added.
