Donald Trump has made his first public appearances since he was indicted on 37 federal charges in connection to the classified materials investigation into the former president.
Trump spoke at Republican state conventions in Georgia and North Carolina on Saturday, during which he used speeches to attack Special Counsel Jack Smith's probe as a "political hit job."
Trump became the first-ever U.S. president to face federal charges after he was indicted for allegations that include 31 counts of willful retention of classified documents, as well as additional counts including conspiracy to obstruct justice, concealing a document in a federal investigation, and making false statements and representations.
