Trump spoke on Saturday at the Truth Social online network he co-founded. There the 76-year-old wrote that he had the truth on his side – if you have the truth on your side, you will win in the end. The New York Times quoted a Trump spokesman as saying: “Like every Democrat-backed witch hunt, this unprecedented and unnecessary crackdown is being waged by a media that prefers to work with suggestive leaks, anonymous sources and hard facts.”
