Global News published this video item, entitled “Trump speaks after pleading not guilty to 34-count felony indictment | LIVE” – below is their description.
Former President Donald Trump is expected to hold a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Fla. after he plead not guilty to 34 felony counts in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday on charges related to falsifying business records in a hush-money investigation.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said the former president faces 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
Trump, who has denied any wrongdoing and has repeatedly assailed the investigation, has called the indictment “political persecution” and predicted it would damage Democrats in 2024. Trump’s lawyers have said the former president “did not commit any crime. We will vigorously fight this political prosecution in court.”
While Trump will be technically considered under arrest, he won’t be handcuffed and he won’t sit in a jail cell, in part because parts of the courthouse will be cleared out for his arraignment — and because Trump is a former president with Secret Service protection.
