The former president also challenged the allegations against him regarding the falsification of business records. He argued that the payments to Daniels were legitimate legal expenses, stating, “Part of the records that we’re talking about, they’re saying I… falsified business records. Well, the falsification of business records, as they said, was wholly a legal expense where everyone could see them.” He emphasized that the records were prepared by accountants, not by him, and questioned the basis for his indictment.
As he addressed the court, Trump expressed his frustration at the possibility of facing jail time had he not won the election. He referenced legal experts who, despite not being his allies, agreed that the case should never have been brought to trial. “It’s an injustice of justice,” he remarked, listing names like Jonathan Turley and Andy McCarthy, as well as “Elie Honig at CNN of all places.” He characterized the proceedings as a “political witch hunt” aimed at damaging his reputation and undermining his electoral chances.
Trump concluded his remarks with a defiant tone, asserting that the American public understands the situation. “The people of this country understand what’s going on. They understand this is a weaponization of government. They call it lawfare,” he declared. He emphasized that such actions had never occurred to this extent in American history, reiterating his belief that he had been treated unfairly throughout the process.
In the wake of his sentencing, Trump’s supporters are rallying around him, viewing his courtroom address as a testament to his resilience in the face of what they perceive as unjust legal challenges. As he prepares to appeal the verdict, the former president remains a central figure in the political landscape, continuing to galvanize his base with claims of persecution and injustice.

The audio of his fiery remarks has since been released, showcasing his unwavering stance against what he perceives as a politically motivated attack on his character and campaign.
Trump’s sentence, an “unconditional discharge,” has been described as a mere slap on the wrist, leaving him with the label of a convicted felon but imposing no significant penalties. Despite this, Trump remains resolute, vowing to pursue an exhaustive appeal against the verdict, which he claims was rendered by a biased New York jury. He expressed his belief that the trial was unfair, particularly given the timing in an election year, stating, “This is a case that, from what I read and what I hear, that was inappropriately handled before [Bragg] got there.”
During his six-minute address, Trump did not hold back in his criticism of various figures, including President Joe Biden, the Justice Department, and District Attorney Alvin Bragg. He pointed to a former DOJ official who transitioned to Bragg’s office, suggesting that this individual acted inappropriately and was aligned with his political opponent. “That gentleman, from what I heard, was criminal or almost criminal in what he did. It was very inappropriate. It was somebody involved with my political opponent,” Trump asserted.
