Donald Trump's election campaign has been reinvigorated in an unlikley way following his court appearance.
The former US President spoke for twenty-five minutes to a packed room of supporters in Mar-a-Lago just hours after pleading not guilty to thirty four charges.
The charges relate to a six figure hush money payment to a porn star, Stormy Daniels.
In his speech he claimed America was going to hell, attacking the judge, the prosecutor, their families and the other ongoing investigations against him.
Politico's Josh Gerstein spoke to Guyon Espiner.
