'Shameful Witch Hunt': LI Congressman Reacts To Trump Conviction
The former president was convicted on all 34 counts on Thursday afternoon.
WASHINGTON, DC — Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 felony charges. The jury deliberated for two days before rendering its verdict in the hush money trial for the former president falsifying business records.
Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-Island Park) said in a statement shortly after the conviction: "The corrupt District Attorney of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, and his left-wing allies have completed their shameful witch hunt against President Trump by railroading a conviction through a partisan New York court in an attempt to help Joe Biden’s failing campaign.
D'Esposito added: "I have testified in court against countless convicts during my time as an NYPD Detective, and it is clear to me that Democrats are so afraid of engaging in a fair fight against President Trump that they continue to weaponize the justice system in an attempt to stop him."
