He added that it was “wrong and the mistake I will pay for dearly the rest of my life.”The indictment against them did not in any way implicate Trump - who is again seeking the presidency this year - or Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns his Truth Social platform and began trading on the Nasdaq stock market on March 26.
