FIRST ON FOX: A top House Republican lawmaker is so sure that former President Donald Trump's recent criminal conviction has ensured his reelection that he invited the Manhattan judge who oversaw the trial to his inauguration. Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., a staunch Trump ally, blasted the Friday guilty verdict against the former president as 'irresponsible and unethical.
His allies have long criticized the case as political, and have argued the charges would not have been brought if he was not running for reelection in November. 'It should be concerning to every American, because if you can convict a former President of the United States on such bogus charges…every American of either party is at risk, whether they be a public official or not,' Wilson said.
And hey, I mean it to indicate to him that what he has done is wrong,' Wilson said. 'I would urge him to come to see the response to the American people. I think people will be polite, but they will certainly let him know that his conduct is unethical and corrupt. Totally corrupt.' Fox News Digital reached out to the New York City public court system for a response.
