Florida Leaders Respond To Guilty Verdict In Trump Hush Money Trial

In response to former President Donald Trump being found guilty on all 34 counts during his hush money trial in New York, Florida leaders took to social media to express their thoughts on the case’s outcome.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis posted:

“Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump.

That this case—involving alleged misdemeanor business records violations from nearly a decade ago—was even brought is a testament to the political debasement of the justice system in places like New York City. This is especially true considering this same district attorney routinely excuses criminal conduct in a way that has endangered law-abiding citizens in his jurisdiction.
