Trump concluded his remarks around 9:15 p.m. to applause from supporters.
His speech was laced with misleading or inaccurate claims about his case, arguing that the Presidential Records Act gives him total authority to posses government materials after leaving office.
The act states that all official records belong to the Archives once a president leaves office.
Trump also attacked President Biden at length, accusing Biden of sticking the Justice Department on him. The White House has repeatedly said that it is remaining independent of the Justice Department.
“This is called election interference in yet another attempt to rig and steal a presidential election,” Trump said.
