A New York jury handed down the historic verdict Thursday afternoon, the first time a former president has been convicted of a crime.
Some senior Alaska Republicans are crying foul after former President Donald Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records linked to a hush money payment to an adult film star, a scheme that prosecutors said was an attempt to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.“The majority of people following these cases believe they are politically motivated to harm President Trump’s chances at winning in November,” Dunleavy said.
“This case, brought by a far-left, partisan local prosecutor who campaigned on getting Trump, exemplifies the old Soviet adage: Show me the man, I’ll show you the crime,” Sullivan said. “President Trump should be exonerated on appeal. The 2024 presidential election should be decided at the ballot box, not by this unprecedented political prosecution. I trust that the American people will see through this gross abuse of our justice system.
