Former President Donald Trump will be speaking in Alabama tonight, an appearance that comes just days after he was indicted on charges of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Trump will be speaking at the Alabama Republican Party’s 2023 Summer meeting at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel. The evening starts with a 6 p.m. reception followed by dinner and Trump’s remarks at 7 p.m. A sold-out crowd is expected.
Trump will be introduced by Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville.
On Thursday, Trump pleaded not guilty to charges he plotted to overturn the 2020 election in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He was indicted on four felony counts, including conspiracy to defraud the nation.
In June, Trump was indicted on felony charges that he intentionally hoarded hundreds of classified documents at his Florida estate and obstructed the government’s efforts to recover them. And, in March, prosecutors in New York charged Trump with falsifying business records as part of an alleged effort to cover up hush payments to a porn actor over an alleged affair.
The former president has denounced all the cases as efforts to derail his 2024 campaign for the White House. Polls show Trump is currently the frontrunner among GOP hopefuls.
