Former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally Saturday in Waco, Texas. The 76-year-old slammed Joe Biden and authorities investigating him in the hush-money case.
The rally started at 2 PM local time. The 45th US President was scheduled to speak at 5 PM. However, his Force Trump plane was late. The Republican leader started off with a song called “Justice for All”, which was sung by J6 Prison Choir.

Thousands of supporters cheered for Trump at the rally, which was held at the Waco airport. Footage from the insurrection were shown on the big screens before the former president came on the stage and the choir’s rendition of the national anthem was played.
“You will be vindicated and proud. The thugs and criminals who are corrupting our justice system will be defeated, discredited and totally disgraced,” Trump said.
Donald Trump is being investigated by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for his involvement in a hush money case. The GOP leader has been accused of paying adult film actor Stormy Daniels in order to keep her from talking about their alleged affair in 2016. The former president is also facing an investigation in Georgia over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Trump on Saturday said Bragg is investigating him “for something that is not a crime, not a misdemeanor, not an affair.”
Talking about his ‘enemies’, he added: “They failed. They’ve only made us stronger. And 2024 is the final battle, it’s going to be the big one. You put me back in the White House, their reign will be over and America will be a free nation once again.”
Donald Trump also went after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. He said that his potential 2024 competitor was disloyal and “dropping like a rock.”
