The former president Donald Trump reiterated this Saturday his innocence in the case of classified documents that US authorities recovered from his home in Florida, for which he faces 37 federal charges, and that he acted under the 1977 presidential records law.
During his speech at the Turning Point Action convention, which is being held starting today at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, in South Florida (USA), Trump pointed out that the aforementioned regulation grants him the “absolutely unquestionable” right to keep official documents in your home.
He noted that under that law the government’s National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) you have no right to claim official documentsdespite which the entity referred its request to the Department of Justice and Mar-a-Lago, his mansion in Palm Beach, was the subject of a search by the FBI.

He insisted that the prosecution led by special prosecutor Jack Smith is politically motivated and constitutes an act of “electoral interference”, given that He said, he is a favorite to win the 2024 elections, and again hinted that behind the federal accusation is the current president of the United States, the Democrat Joe Biden.
“Biden is, by far, the most corrupt president in the history of our country”asserted the Republican.
Throughout a speech that lasted almost 100 minutes, the former president (2017-2021) covered common topics of his campaign events, such as the crisis on the border and the “invasion” of the USAthe “incompetent” economic management of the Biden Administration or the “rigged” 2020 elections.

He reviewed his status as a favorite given by the polls in the Republican primaries to choose the nominee of this party for the 2024 presidential elections, in which he is first with a wide distance both nationally and in different states.
seized the moment to mock Florida Governor Ron DeSantiswho is second in the polls for voting intentions, and did not rule out that he is displaced in that position by the businessman and author Vivek Ramaswamy, who in his opinion “is doing very well.”
Ramaswamy has in the past expressed his support for Trump and at a conservative summit held in Iowa on Friday said that the riots on January 6, 2021 in the Washington Capitol carried out by supporters of the former president were due to “generalized censorship” in the country.
