Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds on Sunday urged the Supreme Court to take up former President Donald Trump's New York case in which he was convicted on 34 counts of falsification of business records. 'Speaker Johnson, myself included, and many Americans believe the Supreme Court should step into this matter,' Donalds told NBC News' 'Meet the Press' on Sunday. His comments come after Johnson told Fox News that the Supreme Court should look into the case.
'This is being done for political purposes. Everybody knows how the court system works in New York, the only ability for this to be overturned is going to is going to be happening two or three years from now,' Donalds told moderator Peter Alexander. 'That's why what happened in lower Manhattan was to interfere with an election,' he added. Donalds is widely reported to be on former President Donald Trump’s short list of potential vice presidential nominees.
