As we wrote earlier on Thursday in the wake of the oral arguments in the E. Jean Carroll case in New York, the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump spoke to the media at Trump Tower. Part of his remarks were about the lawfare being waged against him by the current administration, which includes the Democrat opponent in the 2024 election, Vice President Kamala Harris.

He also talked about the upcoming ABC News presidential debate:
Trump then returned to the podium and shared his thoughts regarding the upcoming presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, characterizing the September 10 event as “going into very hostile territory.”

Then he headed to Charlotte, North Carolina, to address the members of the National Fraternal Order of Police. The former president accepted the law enforcement group’s official endorsement for President of the United States:
He circled back to the debate against Kamala, which is set to take place on Sept. 10 as originally planned by the network, now that Harris has finally agreed to the terms. Trump joked that she’s “locked herself in a room,” and her team can’t focus because his supporters are shouting their support for him outside the building.

He promised to sign a new law to strengthen punishment for those who commit crimes against law enforcement, and to “crack down” against Soros district attorneys, name-checking the one in charge of Philadelphia:
