The former president is attempting to cast the investigations into his actions as politically motivated uses of the justice system. In office, he regularly sought to use government powers against his foes.
The grand jury investigating a hush-money case against the former president met again on Monday, but the timing of any potential indictment remained unclear.
The political and legal bombshell could rally Republican voters to the former president’s side, but it could also prompt them to seek out an alternative.
Facing a potential indictment, the former president devoted much of his speech in Waco, Texas, to criticizing the justice system, though his attacks were less personal and caustic than in recent days.
