WESTON, Fla. — After a jury found former President Donald Trump guilty Thursday, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz released a statement saying no one is about the law in the United States.
From Weston, Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat who supports President Joe Biden’s re-election, did not question the legitimacy of the hush-money conviction in New York City.
“No matter what Trump says, a jury determined the facts in this case were clear beyond a reasonable doubt. Yet like any felon, he can appeal this conviction,” Wasserman Schultz wrote.
She also referenced other cases Trump is fighting and accused him of trying to overturn the last election and added that the conviction “affirms that the rich and powerful – and even ex-presidents – still face accountability in America.”
President Joe Biden’s campaign distributed a fundraising appeal after the verdict saying, “We’re THRILLED that justice has finally been served, but this convicted criminal can STILL win back the presidency this fall without a huge surge in Democratic support.”
