Trump's defiant return to Georgia after federal indictment.

Former President Donald Trump delivered a defiant speech at a Georgia GOP convention, framing himself as a victim of "vicious persecution" from politically motivated prosecutors who were agents of a Washington system that would stop at nothing to block his return to power. Trump repeated false claims of rampant voting fraud and phony conspiracy theories about a "rigged" 2020 election in Georgia, while his enthusiastic supporters roared in approval. The appearance was part of Trump's strategy to harness anger over the indictment to energize his supporters, as he faces federal charges for mishandling classified defense documents and obstructing the government's effort to retrieve them.
