Republican lawmakers slammed the New York v. Trump verdict Thursday afternoon as 'corrupt and rigged' after the former president was found guilty on all 34 charges brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. 'Today is a shameful day in American history,' House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said in a statement.
House Judiciary Committee ChairmanJim Jordan, R-Ohio, also released the following statement on New York v. Trump verdict:'The verdict is a travesty of justice. The Manhattan kangaroo court shows what happens when our justice system is weaponized by partisan prosecutors in front of a biased judge with an unfair process, designed to keep President Trump off the campaign trail and avoid bringing attention to President Biden’s failing radical policies.
How long can our Republic survive once partisans have taken over the judicial process? This verdict will tragically undermine Americans’ confidence in impartial justice. A sad day for America…,' Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., wrote on X.
