> When asked about those who had admitted to assaulting police officers, Trump claimed “they had no choice” and suggested hundreds of others who pleaded guilty to other offenses were victims of a “very corrupt system.”

“I know the system. The system’s a very corrupt system,” Trump said. “They say to a guy, ‘You’re going to go to jail for two years or for 30 years.’ And these guys are looking, their whole lives have been destroyed. For two years, they’ve been destroyed. But the system is a very nasty system.”
