Politico reports:
After spending the week sitting in silence as a parade of witnesses — from porn star Stormy Daniels to a former White House aide — testified in court, Donald Trump had to get a lot off his chest.
Speaking before tens of thousands of people in Wildwood, New Jersey, Trump called the hush money case a “sham.” He mocked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as “Fat Alvin.” He insulted the judge overseeing the case as “corrupt” and “highly conflicted.” And according to Trump, Joe Biden was to blame for it all.
During the speech, Trump threw well-worn lines on the border, windmills and electric vehicles, China and migrants. And he compared himself to the infamous gangster Al Capone, which has become a regular bit on the campaign trail. He said the president is “surrounded by fascists around the Oval Office.”
