Former US President Donald Trump - who will run again for the White House in 2024 despite being indicted by the courts - said on Friday that not even a conviction will stop his campaign.

On Thursday, the US justice system announced new charges against Donald Trump in the case of the illegal withholding of classified documents, alleging that the former president and a newly indicted aide tried to prevent images from surveillance cameras from being accessed by investigators.

Asked by far-right radio host John Fredericks whether he would cancel his campaign if he were convicted, Trump rejected that scenario. "There's nothing in the Constitution that says you can (stop) me" from campaigning, Trump assured, adding that "even the crazies on the radical left agree with that".

The classified records were taken by Trump to Mar-a-Lago after he left the White House in January 2021.

Trump is now accused of intentionally withholding national defense information, following the release of an audio of the former president discussing US military plans to attack another country, during an interview in July 2021, at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The interview was conducted for a memoir by his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who named the country Iran in his book.

According to the indictment, Trump returned the document, marked top secret and not approved for display, to the federal government on January 17, 2022.

This indictment marks a shift in the prosecutors' approach to Trump's case, accusing him of withholding a document he claims the former president knew to be highly sensitive after the Republican left office - and not just for not returning it to the government when requested.

Trump is the first ex-President in US history to be indicted for crimes, having to answer to several lawsuits. The former president says he didn't do anything that others hadn't done before - about the removal of classified documents when he left the White House in January 2021 - denouncing that other former heads of state, such as Barack Obama and George W. Bush, have also done so.

In addition to this case, in New York, a grand jury has also indicted Trump for falsifying business documents in a case involving payment for the silence of porn actress Stormy Daniels, with whom the former president had a sexual relationship in 2006.And a Georgia prosecutor is also expected to announce by September the outcome of an investigation into alleged pressure exerted by Trump to try to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in that southern state.
