In a statement to the judge during his sentencing hearing earlier today, President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his innocence, insisting that the charges against him were baseless.

Trump claimed, “The top legal scholars in this country have said that this is a case that should have never been brought. It’s an injustice of justice.” He continued, “I’m totally innocent. I did nothing wrong. The business records were extremely accurately counted.”

Additionally, Trump criticized the legal proceedings, stating, “I got indicted over calling a legal expense a legal expense. I just want to say – I think it’s an embarrassment to New York.”

Trump also referenced his overwhelming win in the 2024 election, asserting, “In the meantime, I won the election in a massive landslide, and the people of this country understand what’s gone on. Weaponization.”
