WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former President Donald Trump arrived in Washington, DC, Thursday afternoon to make his first appearance in federal court following Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of January 6.
“This is a very sad day for America,” Trump told reporters outside the Reagan National Airport following his court appearance on Thursday. “This is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in America.”
Breitbart News accompanied Trump on his trip to D.C. where the 45th president arrived on Trump Force One at approximately 2:50 p.m. ET and made his way to the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse near the United States Capitol.
