Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he's "going through a fake investigation" that "turned out to be a sham" as he spoke to supporters after his arraignment, according to CNN.

"As you know, we're going through a fake investigation. That's what it is. By radical left people that I believe actually have to hate our country. And we're winning – we had a great day today, actually, because it turned out to be a sham," Trump said.

His remarks came on call organized by faith leaders and supporters, during which he briefly spoke out against the investigation by the Manhattan district attorney.

Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy related to hush money payments to two women before the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

He has pleaded not guilty.
