Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., arrives for a meeting of the House Republican Conference in the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, May 7, 2024. Daniels’ comments echo those made by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who told Fox News the day after Trump’s conviction, “I do believe the Supreme Court should step in. Obviously, this is totally unprecedented.”, Trump called Johnson soon after he was convicted and told the speaker, “We have to overturn this,” in an f-bomb laden rant.
“That’s why what happened in lower Manhattan was to interfere with an election,” he said without citing any evidence., there is no evidence that he had anything to do with this case,” Alexander said. “The Manhattan DA, as you know, began this investigation in 2018, before Joe Biden was even his party’s nominee.”
“But they’ve prosecuted both Democrats and Republicans, so I think Americans would say is that equal justice?” the moderator said.
