Several Republican lawmakers have condemned the recent verdict against former President Donald J. Trump, characterizing the trial as a politically motivated prosecution aimed at preventing him from running in the upcoming election. They argue that the trial, conducted by a judge with alleged biases and a jury from a liberal county, represents a weaponization of the justice system under President Joe Biden. The lawmakers, including Rep. Rich Hudson, Rep. Pat Fallon, and Sen. Steve Daines, describe the verdict as a travesty of justice and a mockery of the American judicial system. Rep. Jim Jordan referred to the trial as a 'Manhattan kangaroo court' with a biased judge, while others noted the judge's connections to Joe Biden's campaign. Rep. Adrian Smith pointed out the reliance on discredited witnesses. Many have expressed support for Trump to appeal the decision, hoping for a reversal in higher courts.
Today’s verdict—and this entire trial—was based in politics, not the law. The Biden Admin. and their allies continue to weaponize our justice system against their political enemies. I look forward to seeing this ridiculous, partisan verdict quickly appealed and overturned.
It is a tragic time in America when our justice system is weaponized to undermine a political opponent. This trial and verdict are a disgrace and represent nothing more than a political agenda against former President Donald Trump. Truly a sad day.
The verdict against President Trump is a travesty! This action moves us closer to less than a democracy. This political prosecution is a mockery of the American Constitution, and a miscarriage of justice.
Today is a sad day in America. This trial and verdict should never have happened. I never imagined we would witness a former President of the United States being politically prosecuted. This is a clear miscarriage of justice, and the American people won’t forget this corrupt,…
Today is a dark day for America. We just witnessed the weaponization of the justice system to try to take down the Democrats key political opponent. My how our once great nation has fallen.
The recent verdict against President Trump is a complete travesty that makes a mockery of our judicial system. This political show trial, conducted by an openly pro-Biden judge whose daughter profits from the case, represents the depths to which our judicial system has been…
This is a dark day for our Nation. The weaponization of our justice system is obvious, egregious, and just sad. This sham of a trial has been purely political from start to finish and indicative of the Banana Republic that President Biden is hell-bent on turning us into.
Today’s verdict is only further evidence that this attack against President Trump is purely political, with not a shred of legal justification. The American people see this trial for what it is—a political stunt. https://t.co/81mURXmFxG
Today’s verdict is based largely on discredited witnesses and prosecutorial indiscretion, and demonstrates once again that there are two systems of justice in President Biden’s America. I trust that President Trump will appeal and I support that effort.
Today’s verdict is a travesty of justice and a blatant attempt by the Biden Justice Department to jail a political opponent in the middle of an election year. I stand with President Trump in his fight to defeat the political persecution that is turning our justice system into a…
Partisan NY prosecutors just performed the biggest sham in America's judicial history. This trial was never about justice—it was about weaponizing our judicial system to keep President Biden's leading opponent off the campaign trail & in a courtroom away from voters.
This was never about justice. It was always about politics. Americans see through Democrats’ weaponization of our justice system and this sham trial as a desperate attempt to persecute Trump and block his re-election.
Today's verdict is the foreordained outcome of a biased and politically motivated prosecution against President Trump that should have never been brought to trial to begin with. The lawfare and two-tiered system of justice waged against Donald Trump by Biden's corrupt DOJ and…
This verdict is a sham and the American people know it. Dems weaponized the justice system and held a trial worthy of a banana republic. The judge is a donor to @JoeBiden’s campaign & displayed extreme bias. This verdict should be overturned on appeal for justice to be served.
This will go down in history as a sad day for America. This verdict is a travesty of justice in a kangaroo court, and it proves Joe Biden's sole focus is not to help the American people, but instead to weaponize against his political opponents to help his reelection during a…
This is a dark day for America. This entire trial has been a sham, and it is nothing more than political persecution. The only reason they prosecuted Donald Trump is because Democrats are terrified that he will win reelection. This disgraceful decision is legally baseless and…

They shamelessly weaponized our “justice” system against their political opponent with a rigged trial. Unjust and un-American. I stand with President Donald J. Trump.
I am outraged over this unjust, un-American, and unconstitutional “verdict” against President Trump. This case should never have gone to trial, yet a radical prosecutor and judge took it upon themselves to trample our Constitution & system of justice. https://t.co/pGjjzunf4F

Let's call this sham Trump trial what it is: The weaponization of the judicial system by Democrats against President Trump in a desperate attempt to block him from being elected president again. It's a total disgrace. And Americans see right through it. https://t.co/JSFpSYBxt5
President Trump’s sham trial isn’t about upholding the law, it’s a means to politically persecute Joe Biden’s top opponent months before an election. This is clearly weaponization of our justice system.
This trial has nothing to do with justice or democracy. This is a political witch-hunt prosecution against Donald J. Trump in an attempt to take him down before the election. This is something you’d see in a banana republic, not America. Today is a dark day for our country.
