Trump is now the first former president to be convicted of a felony. After the verdict, there was plenty of reaction from lawmakers.
Texas leaders are reacting to a Manhattan jury's historic conviction of former President Donald Trump's conviction in the"hush money" case. of falsifying records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to a porn actor who said the two had sex. He is set to be sentenced July 11.
"Americans deserve better than a sitting U.S. President weaponizing our justice system against a political opponent—all to win an election," Abbott's post went on to read."We must FIRE Joe Biden in November."Americans deserve better than a sitting U.S. President weaponizing our justice system against a political opponent— all to win an election.Today's guilty verdict against President Trump is an absolute travesty of our judicial system.
The New York trial ballooned into a cause-celebre for the political right. Trump’s Texan allies traveled to New York to support him during the trial, including Attorney General. Paxton has been floated as a potential pick to be U.S. attorney general in a second Trump administration. He led a lawsuit challenging other states’ election results in 2020 and has sued the Biden administration numerous times to stop its policies on issues ranging from immigration to gender.
A disgraceful moment for our country, when activism and emotion trampled longstanding judicial principles and standards. This case is ripe to be overturned on appeal, as it should be, and Donald Trump will be reelected in November. Ultimately this will blow up in the left’s…I don’t know if our country can ever recover from the abuse of this government on President Donald Trump.
