Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., argued on ABC's "This Week" that Donald Trump is "stronger" after last week's indictment and added that the charges don't impact his support for the former president.

"I think Donald Trump is stronger today politically than he was before. ... We'll have an election, and we'll have a trial, but I promise you this: Most Americans believe, most Republicans believe, that the law is used as a weapon against Donald Trump," Graham said in a testy interview with "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos.

Graham said he did not approve of the former president's handling of classified information but insisted Trump did not deserve to be charged under the Espionage Act

Former President Donald Trump continued to attack the federal indictment handed down against him this week, telling North Carolina Republicans Saturday night that the charges were "third world country stuff."

"You get indicted over nothing?" he exclaimed.

Trump also mused about whether his alma mater, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, was proud of him for getting indicted.

"I wonder if they say, 'Oh, that's wonderful,'" he said.

Former President Donald Trump has vowed to stay in the 2024 presidential race even if he is convicted on the wide-ranging 37-count indictment.

In an interview with a Politico reporter who went on Trump's plane on Saturday, Trump said he will continue to run for president even if he's convicted in his federal case, his spokesperson confirmed.

"I'll never leave," Trump said. "Look, if I would have left, I would have left prior to the original race in 2016. That was a rough one. In theory, that was not doable."

A Trump campaign spokesperson confirmed to ABC News that Trump made the comment.

Former President Donald Trump made his first public remarks since being handed a wide-ranging 37-count indictment from the special counsel's office on Thursday.

"The ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the Biden administration's weaponized department of injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country," he told supporters Saturday in in Columbus, Georgia.

Hours after addressing Georgia’s Republican convention, Trump again blasted the "thugs and freaks running this country."

"We did absolutely nothing wrong. ... It's a disgrace what's happening. And you know what this country is paying a big price. Should never be allowed to happen," he said at a local Waffle House.

The 49-page indictment against former President Donald Trump has been unsealed.

Trump has been charged with 37 counts: 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information; one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice; one count of withholding a document or record; one count of corruptly concealing a document or record; one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation; one count of scheme to conceal; and one count of false statements and representations.

The indictment alleges Trump had "lawful access to the most sensitive classified documents and national defense information gathered and owned by the United States government."

During his presidency, prosecutors said, Trump gathered classified documents and other materials in boxes, including "information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries; United States nuclear programs; potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its Allies to military attack; and plans for possible retaliation in response to a foreign attack. The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States, foreign relations, the safety of the United States military, and human sources and the continued viability of sensitive intelligence collection methods."

Trump at least twice showed classified documents to others, prosecutors said, on separate occasions in 2021 at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Trump aide Walt Nauta was charged with six counts: one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice; one count of withholding a document or record; one count of corruptly concealing a document or record; one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation; one count of scheme to conceal; and one count of false statements and representations.

Prosecutors described an exchange between Nauta and an unnamed member of the Trump family shortly after Nauta allegedly removed dozens of boxes from their storage location inside Trump's Florida home, Mar-a-Lago.

On May 30, 2022, prosecutors said the Trump family member texted Nauta: Good afternoon Walt, Happy Memorial Day! I saw you put boxes to Potus room. Just FYI and I will tell him as well: Not sure how many he wants to take on Friday on the plane. We will NOT have a room for them. Plane will be full with luggage. Thank you!"

Prosecutors said Nauta replied: Good Afternoon Ma’am [Smiley Face Emoji] Thank you so much. I think he wanted to pick from them. I don’t imagine him wanting to take the boxes. He told me to put them in the room and that he was going to talk to you about them."

The indictment alleges that Nauta removed about 11 boxes from the storage room on June 1, 2022.
