Stefanik releases statement following Trump trial verdict

WASHINGTON, D.C. - North Country Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) released the following statement from her office in the wake of Trump's guilty verdict on all 34 counts against him regarding his hush money trial:

“Today’s verdict shows how corrupt and rigged the American justice system has become under Joe Biden. I fully support President Trump appealing this decision and look forward to the New York Court of Appeals delivering justice and overturning this verdict. The facts are clear: this was a zombie case brought forward by Joe Biden’s allies in a desperate attempt to save Biden’s failing campaign and the verdict hinged on the testimony of a convicted felon who was disbarred for lying. This sham trial was overseen by a corrupt and highly conflicted Judge who is a Biden donor and his own family has profited off this case, this Judge imposed a gag order on President Trump and his team which prevented them from talking about this rigged witch hunt, this Judge routinely sided and with the prosecution and prevented President Trump’s defense from calling a critical witness to the stand. The prosecution team that brought forward this case consisted of a Soros-funded Far Left Democrat District Attorney on a vendetta, a Democrat political operative, and Democrat donors. From the start, the scales of justice were stacked against President Trump. Joe Biden, Far Left Democrats, and their stenographers in the mainstream media have made it clear they will stop at nothing to prevent President Trump from returning to the White House. We must redouble our efforts and work around the clock to ensure President Trump is victorious this November to save America from Biden’s failed Far Left Democrat agenda.”
