Trump addresses courtroom for the first time in trial
Kayla Epstein
Would the defendant like to speak? Justice Merchan asks.
Donald Trump says that in fact, he does. For the first time, we hear from Trump during this trial.
He did not testify in his defense, and so now is using this opportunity to relitigate the case - which is already over.
Trump says "this has been a very terrible experience" and begins to list his issues with the facts and charges involved.
He says that the case was brought to stop him from winning re-election and is saying that he won the 2024 election both in the popular vote and in the electoral college.
"The fact is that I’m totally innocent, I did nothing wrong," Trump says rapidly.
