WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today issued a statement regarding the recent legal case involving former President Donald Trump.
"I expect this case to be reversed on appeal," said Graham. "The outcome of this case should surprise no one."
Graham criticized the prosecution and trial, stating, "A political hack prosecutor manufactured charges in one of the most liberal legal venues in the country. An obnoxious and biased judge who should have been disqualified conducted a trial in a way to ensure Donald Trump's conviction. A jury pool that comes from one of the most liberal areas of America."
He further commented on the fairness of the trial: "This combination of events made it impossible for Donald Trump to get a fair trial. This verdict says more about the system than the allegations. It will be seen as politically motivated and unfair, and it will backfire tremendously on the political Left."
Graham concluded his statement by expressing concern over broader implications: "The Manhattan legal system has become a joke in every sense of the word. This is a mockery of justice. I fear we have opened up Pandora’s box on the presidency itself."
