Republicans News

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and U.S. Reps. Troy Nehls and Ronny Jackson flew to New York to attend final testimony. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton visited earlier.

As testimony ended in Donald Trump’s hush money trial on Tuesday, a trio of Texas Republicans — Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, along with U.S. Reps. Troy Nehls and Ronny Jackson — were there outside the New York courthouse, ready to step into the role of champions for the former president. “They want Donald Trump to disappear,” Patrick told reporters outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse late Tuesday after the defense rested its case without their client’s testimony. “They want to send him to jail.

Nehls — wearing a tie with photographs of Trump holding an American flag — called the trial “election interference,” and Jackson, who was once physician to President Barack Obama and to Trump, called the trial’s judge and prosecutors “corrupt” and “puppets of the Biden administration and Biden DOJ.” Closing arguments in Trump’s trial are scheduled for May 28. Jurors are expected to begin deliberations once those are complete.
