Trump declares: ‘We are so innocent’
Speaking after his Thursday appearance in court, former President Trump went on the attack against Judge Juan Merchan, who denied a request to modify Trump's gag order.
"So, what happened today? I don't think we have to do any expert explaining. I'm not allowed to anyway because this judge is a corrupt judge. This judge, what he did and what his ruling was, is a disgrace," Trump said after court adjourned, adding Merchan is "totally conflicted."
Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, said he's "got to get back on the campaign trail."
"I'm not supposed to be here," Trump said. "We are so innocent. There's never been anything like it.
"I'm innocent, and I'm being held in this court with a corrupt judge who's totally conflicted."
The former president said it is "a disgrace to the city of New York, to the state of New York and to the country."
