Trump has responded to the accusations by declaring his innocence on Truth Social, stating that the costs are a “hoax” similar to Russiagate.

In a video response, Trump accused the DOJ and FBI of weaponizing their agencies to interfere in the election and destroy his reputation. He also emphasized his innocence, stating that he did nothing wrong and would prove it again.
This is the second time Trump has been indicted this year, but the first time he has been charged federally. In April, the Manhattan District Attorney charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records. Despite the charges, Trump remains the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
