'America is going to hell', Donald Trump tells the world after arrest
The TelegraphDonald Trump told the world that America "is going to hell" in a defiant speech from the ballroom of his Mar-a-Lago resort following his arrest in Manhattan, capping a day of high drama that put the former president centre stage as he plots a return to the White House. In a choreographed rally-style appearance, Mr Trump said the case against him was "an insult to our country" and insisted he had not committed any crime just hours after being charged over alleged hush money for affairs paid to a porn star, glamour model and former doorman. Despite being warned earlier about his rhetoric in court in New York, Mr Trump lashed out at the judge overseeing his criminal case, calling him the "real criminal". The 76-year-old had arrived in his "Trump Force One" private jet after he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a New York court, a moment that plunged the US into uncharted territory and threatens to overshadow the 2024 presidential race.
