"Nobody's ever seen anything like iut in this country, is a disgrace. It's a disgraceful situation actually, and we'll just have to figure it out. I'll be here during the day and I'll be campaigning during the night. Biden should be doing the same thing but he’ll be sleeping. This is all from the DOJ, this all comes out of Washington.

"Not a case that everybody says — you take a look at the legal documents and the legal scholars writing about this, they said there's no crime. This is no crime, but outside, right outside the courthouse, this courthouse, people are being murdered," he said, later adding that legal scholars say "it's not a crime."
A reporter asked Trump how he planned to campaign as this and other cases go to trial, many of which are set to begin in the spring, to which Trump said, "I'll do it in the evening."
Jury selection is set to begin on March 25 in the case from Bragg, who has charged Trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Bragg had to raise the crimes from misdemeanors to felonies to even bring the charges past the statute of limitations. Bragg has also not specified what the felony crime is.
