Former President Donald Trump said his crowded legal calendar was inconvenient ahead of the Republican primaries, but he’s confident he can campaign, even from inside the courthouse.
Trump, 77, is leading polls for the GOP nomination, but criminal and civil cases across the country pose challenges with the state-by-state nomination process, which begins Jan. 15 with caucuses in Iowa.
On Wednesday, Trump blamed President Joe Biden and what he calls the “weaponization” of the Justice Department.
“As the leader of the Opposition Party, I should not be forced to campaign from inside a courthouse, which is very doable, but not very Democratic or convenient,” Trump posted Wednesday on Truth Social, his social media platform. “This is where they want me to spend my time and money, but is not the way our system is supposed to work.”
