Speaking at an event about criminal justice on Friday, Donald Trump compared his own situation with the ongoing impeachment inquiry to America’s long history of systemic racial inequities in the justice system.
Trump was speaking to the 2020 Bipartisan Justice Center at Benedict College, a historically black institution, in front of an audience almost entirely composed of his supporters. The Statenewspaper reported Friday afternoon that only seven Benedict students attended Trump’s speech.
“We’ll never let up on our efforts to ensure that our justice system is fair for every single American,” said Trump. “And I have my own experience, you know that. You see what is going on with the witch hunt. It’s a terrible thing that’s going on in our country. No crimes. It’s an investigation in search of a crime. It’s been going on for longer than I have been in office.”
