Just hours after Trump announced he was indicted on seven counts over special counsel Jack Smith’s classified document probe, the 45th president released a new video.
In the video, Trump says that he’s an innocent man and that the box hoax against him is the highest level of election interference in history.
He continues and says the recent indictments are just a continuation of the Russian hoax.

Trump is even facing a charge that falls under the Espionage Act.
Here’s what CNN reported:
President Donald Trump has been indicted on seven counts in the special counsel’s classified documents probe, a stunning development that marks the first time a former president has faced federal charges.
ADVERTISEMENTTrump is facing a charge under the Espionage Act, his attorney Jim Trusty said on CNN Thursday, as well as charges of obstruction of justice, destruction or falsification of records, conspiracy and false statements.
The special counsel has been investigating Trump’s handling of classified documents that were brought to his Mar-a-Lago Florida resort after he left the White House in 2021, as well as possible obstruction of the investigation and government efforts to retrieve the material.
The former president wrote on Truth Social that he had been informed by the Justice Department he was indicted and that he was “summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM.”
“The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax,” Trump wrote.
