President Donald Trump was flanked by top Republican Party figures as he attended his “hush money” trial in New York on Tuesday.
Several allies of the 45 president, including Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and former 2024 presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy, slammed the ongoing NY v. Trump trial as a “sham.”
They highlighted that the case is being promoted by Democrats ahead of the 2024 election.
“I learned a lot from being in there in person,” Ramaswamy said Tuesday outside the New York courthouse.
“It is one of the most depressing places I have been in my life.
“But it is fitting because the only thing more depressing than the environment of that courtroom is what’s actually happening in there.
“It’s straight out of a Kafka novel.
“The prosecution’s main strategy appears to be to bore the jurors into submission.
“And if you look in that direction, sadly, it may appear to actually be working.”
Ramaswamy that the case is “politicized persecution.”
“The whole case that Alvin Bragg has brought depends on one premise for them to charge this as a felony, is that Donald Trump somehow should have used campaign funds to make an allegedly personal payment,” Ramaswamy continued.
