Former President Donald Trump arrives at Manhattan criminal court during jury deliberations in his criminal hush money trial in New York, Thursday, May 30, 2024.After deliberating for 9.5 hours, a New York jury found Trump guilty of “falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to who said the two had sex.” He was convicted on all 34 counts.
Despite this New York jury, as President Trump said, the real verdict will be by the people on Election Day November 5.Today’s verdict is a perfect example of why our judicial system has an appeals process in place. It is a fail safe for every American citizen against errors made in the court system. Every citizen has a right to a fair appeal and President Trump’s appeals case should be a slam dunk for any unbiased and fair appellate court.
The threat Trump poses to our democracy has never been greater. He is running an increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution, pledging to be a dictator ‘on day one’ and calling for our Constitution to be ‘terminated’ so he can regain and keep power. A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms and fomenting political violence – and the American people will reject it this November.This will go down in history as a sad day for America.
Throughout American history, our Republic has been anchored by principles of fairness, impartiality, and the rule of law. These principles are now at risk when legal actions appear motivated by political agendas rather than genuine legal infractions. Targeting a former president through legal means not only undermines the integrity of our judicial system but also threatens the very foundations of our democratic system.
