false statements made to cover up other crimes. these are felony crimes in new york state. no matter who you are. we cannot and will not normalize serious criminal conduct. however, the indictment did not impress trump's legal team. he is frustrated, he's upset, but i'll tell you what he's motivated and it's not going to stop him and it's not gonna slow down. earlier outside the court house, the anticipation had billed to a fever pitch as both supporters and detractors of the former president gathered outside phony case. everybody knows that political persecution today is the beginning of a long series of potential prosecutions. and finally, after hours of waiting trumps motorcade arrived right past our camera. donald trump's motorcade arriving here at the court house. he's in one of these vehicles

a historic moment. it's a very scary times, a very fragile time for american democracy. and not only should americans be nervous, good people around the world should be as well. this is just the start of what likely will be a long legal battle. the next phase will be a trial. trump's lawyers argued to the judge that they don't want that trial to begin until the middle of next year, putting it right smack in the middle of a presidential campaign, one in which it's probable trump himself would be a top contender for the republican nomination. trump left court without comment after more than 2 hours inside. later in the evening when trump returned to his morrow lago, a state in florida, he broke his silence. this fate case was brought only to interfere with the upcoming 2024 election. and it should be dropped immediately from showing his

defiance against a judicial process that is very much in motion. gabriel's hondo al jazeera new york nasa seine has more one from speech from palm beach in florida. the strategy that comes out of the speech is he's talking right now not to the rest of the word country too many. oh my think so he's talking to his base and only his base. he knows the countries divided. he knows that 60 percent of americans are for a good trial. just like any citizen in the united states doesn't mean anything if you're a prisoner or no. so in this speech, what we've seen is the victim rolled, but also defending himself. he would talked already about atlanta, georgia, and as the next serious a complaint of the authorities is against him. but another serious case, much, much more serious apparently than the saga today in new york. so he's already denying any wrong doing in atlanta talking today directly to the district attorney

to the da in georgia atlanta that those phone calls. because the authorities have 3 phone calls of least what is inciting officials to change the results of those elections. a ga what he says to night. he's not guilty. he's not guilty. those phone conversations are not what they, what the government thinks. they are. also he attacks the da in new york, the one who got him today in court. and he just plainly says, this is of is motivated by politics only da new york campaigned during his election to get trump to get to him or is president deena bill was a survived and impeachment that over her handling of anti government process. congress has rejected a motion to remove velocity, and rust broke out in december. the removal left his predecessor as castillo dozens of demonstrators calling for new elections, died in confrontations with security forces on the, on
