Donald Trump criticizes criminal charges that could see him face up to 136 years in prison
(Baonghean.vn) - On April 4 local time, former US President Donald Trump made his first public speech since being indicted on more than 30 charges.
Speaking to a crowd of hundreds of donors, political allies and other supporters after returning to Mar-a-Lago, his beachfront estate in South Florida, Mr Trump stressed: "I never thought anything like this could happen in America - never thought it could happen. The only crime I have committed was tenaciously defending our country from those who sought to destroy it... It is an insult to our country."

In his speech, the former US President also said that the world community was very close to a third world war, a nuclear war, and blamed it largely on the fault of the current US administration headed by Democratic President Joe Biden.
"It has never been mentioned or discussed by any foreign country under my administration. It could very well lead to World War III - a nuclear war - under the Biden administration using all means and forces. It could happen. We're not far from that. Believe it or not, it's up to you," Trump said.
Former President Trump said that the withdrawal from Afghanistan was the most shameful moment in American history. He asserted: "Our unprofessional withdrawal from Afghanistan, where we abandoned American citizens and left behind $85 billion worth of equipment, the best military equipment in the world, was, in my opinion, the most shameful moment in the history of our country."
Former President Trump faces a possible sentence of up to a total of 136 years in prison, according to estimates by Fox News./.
