Donald Trump showed himself to be combative on Saturday. During his first public speeches since his indictment the day before by the federal justice, he castigated the American judicial system, according to him “corrupt”.
The former president is the subject of 37 charges for having, when he left the White House, taken away thousands of documents, some of which were confidential when he should have entrusted them to the National Archives, and for having then refused to return most of it despite reminders from the FBI. This indictment, the second in two months after a first by the justice of the State of New York in April for accounting fraud, paves the way for a presidential 2024 like no other, where the Department of Justice of the outgoing Democratic president prosecutes the favorite of the Republican primary.
