Former US President Donald Trump, who was indicted on Tuesday on 34 counts of accounting fraud, gave a speech from his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida after returning from New York.
Trump, who pleaded not guilty to all charges in court in New York, began his speech by again denying wrongdoing.
– The only crime I have committed is to fearlessly defend our country from those who want to destroy it, said Donald Trump.
