Allies of former President Donald Trump, including former 2024 presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, slammed the ongoing NY v. Trump trial as a 'sham' promoted by Democrats ahead of the 2024 election. 'I learned a lot from being in there in person. 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.
There's nothing that has been wrong here. Nothing that has been done poorly by President Trump. The only thing that's being done wrong is by this judge. His daughter is making money, raising money for Democrats, and all of the fundraising emails, and all the fundraising things are about this trial that his daughter is using. He won't recuse himself. This is a travesty of justice. This is a misuse of the justice system,' Donalds said during the press conference.
Mills slammed the trial as 'the weaponization of what was the Department of Justice,' and Burgum called the case 'election interference' that is 'tying up the president for being out on the campaign trail.' The allies joining Trump Tuesday follow fellow supporters such as Ohio Sen. JD Vance, New York Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, and Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville who attended Trump's trial on Monday. Trump is in court for his 17th day of the trial on Tuesday.
Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case and has maintained his innocence. This week began with testimony from Cohen, who is considered the prosecution's star witness in the case. The former Trump attorney detailed to the court that he spent his own funds to pay Daniels $130,000 in order to execute a non-disclosure agreement and obtain rights to her claims of an affair.
Burgum added during the Tuesday press conference that while the trial continues, allies of Trump's will continue campaigning for the 45th president as Americans deal with spiraling inflation under the Biden administration.
