EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump told Fox News Digital his fourth indictment comes during a "dark period for our country" but vowed to win the 2024 presidential election and "Make America Great Again."
Trump was indicted for the fourth time Monday night - this time out of the Georgia probe into alleged efforts to overturn 2020 election.
"Nineteen people were indicted, and the whole world is laughing at the United States as they see how corrupt and horrible a place it has turned out to be under the leadership of Crooked Joe Biden," Trump told Fox News Digital during an exclusive interview late Monday night.
Trump and more than a dozen others were charged, including his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, his former attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeff Clark, John Eastman, among others.
The charges include violating the Georgia RICO Act - the Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act; Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings; Conspiracy to Commit Filing False Documents; Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree; Filing False Documents; and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer. Not everyone faces the same charges.
"The racist and corrupt district attorney of Fulton County, which has turned out to be a murder capital of the world with among the highest violent crime levels anywhere in our country, just opened a fundraising site in order to benefit off the things she most campaigned on, ‘I will get Donald Trump,’" he said, slamming Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Trump told Fox News Digital that this "is a continuation of the greatest and longest-running Witch Hunt...

Bingo!
As someone earlier replied, not only did he not drain it, he deepened it.
...did he drain it enough for me or most? No, but if you can’t appreciate the better Supreme Court, the thousands of regulations stripped from the register, the tax cuts the “no new wars” , and the hundreds of accomplishments post Obamao, then you aren’t worth the time to read your gripes... ymmv
Getting close to Bonny Blue flag time. Trump should have done a lot of things but he didn’t know the depth or depravity he faced. No one did at the time. We were living in a fools paradise. Now we know the TRUTH—we are Peasants to a power hungry aristocracy of wealth and corruption. If nothing else he exposed them. Thanks Mr. Trump for that —Now its up to the people to set things right.
...bah, stupid thinking on both your parts. The left wants to jail Trump because they fear the retribution.... which I look forward to!
The only ridiculous banter is Trump’s comment unfulfilled promises. Remember, he claims to be the only one who can do it.
It reminds me of that scene in "Jaws" where Chief Brody realizes, "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
I think the bigger problem was whatever swamp he drained he refilled with his own swamp creatures and black water.
Ironically, you just named two areas (economy and judges) where he was most in line with the GOPe.
Regardless, it’s not an either/or. One can appreciate what he did with the economy pre-2020 and with the judges and still think he’s not the best man for the job at this point based on where he failed.
..can you name one area that you claim he failed that you think ANY other Repub would have done better? That’s a challenge!
Do I think any of the other 2016 GOP candidates would have done better?
Probably not.
But it’s not 2016 and the choice isn’t between Trump and one of them. The choice is between Trump, who bungled COVID and draining the swamp and someone like DeSantis who has done a bang up job in FL in the areas where Trump failed.
Trump isn’t the only option this time and, honestly, his performance in 2020 is largely disqualifying, at least in the primary when we have at least one better candidate.
