"This is an affirmation that the rule of law works. That it can be applied to everyone, including a former president."Rep. Adam Schiff on Trump verdict: 'Justice finally caught up to him'
"This is an affirmation that the rule of law works," said Schiff, who represents the Burbank area. "That it can be applied to everyone, including a former president." At the heart of the charges were reimbursements paid to Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen for a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in exchange for not going public with her claim about a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump.
"He has really played rope-a-dope in the courts and gotten away with it until today," said Schiff. "I do think justice has finally caught up with Donald Trump. That doesn't mean there won't be appeals and further efforts at delay, but he will be forever branded a convicted felon, and that's a pretty substantial verdict, let alone for a presidential candidate.
