BREAKING: Trump Responds To The Criminal Sentence In NY Trial… And More
Trump is never shy of sharing his opinion... today is no exception
Trump took to his own TruthSocial platform to blast the lawfare process than ended with a criminal verdict whose only consequence is the reputation damage and restriction of rights that go with such a verdict.
Much has been said before now about the irregularities in the charging, the evidence, the jury instructions and even questions of jurisdiction. The defendant wasn’t even given the benefit of having the specific allegations against him being articulated until the closing, preventing his attorneys from mounting an informed legal defense.
We can’t even say with certainty, which specific crime the jury found him guilty of, or whether they all agreed on what he had done wrong — because jury instructions did not require that of them.
Trump will surely have much to say in coming days about the process, the gag order he endured, and the entanglements of personalities central to the case.
What follows is the TruthSocial text Trump posted in response to the verdict.

The Radical Democrats have lost another pathetic, unAmerican Witch Hunt. After spending tens of millions of dollars, wasting over 6 years of obsessive work that should have been spent on protecting New Yorkers from violent, rampant crime that is destroying the City and State, coordinating with the Biden/Harris Department of Injustice in lawless Weaponization, and bringing completely baseless, illegal, and fake charges against your 45th and 47th President, ME, I was given an UNCONDITIONAL DISCHARGE. That result alone proves that, as all Legal Scholars and Experts have said, THERE IS NO CASE, THERE WAS NEVER A CASE, and this whole Scam fully deserves to be DISMISSED. The real Jury, the American People, have spoken, by Re-Electing me with an overwhelming MANDATE in one of the most consequential Elections in History. As the American People have seen, this “case” had no crime, no damages, no proof, no facts, no Law, only a highly conflicted Judge, a star witness who is a disbarred, disgraced, serial perjurer, and criminal Election Interference. Today’s event was a despicable charade, and now that it is over, we will appeal this Hoax, which has no merit, and restore the trust of Americans in our once great System of Justice. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
But the lawfare nonsense he’s facing today gets worse.
New York’s legal shenanigans to the detriment of Trump are continuing, as we see from a story he posted just yesterday:
FIRST ON FOX: A New York Court assigned a new judge to preside over the civil fraud case against President-elect Trump brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, seemingly replacing Judge Arthur Engoron, but hours later, the court put him back on the case, sources close to Trump’s legal team told Fox News Digital.
The case and the trial were handled by Judge Arthur Engoron, who was accused by Trump allies of acting with bias against the president-elect, his family and his company.
Sources familiar told Fox News Digital the court sent out an automated email at around 12:45pm on Thursday, notifying the parties that it had assigned New York County Supreme Court Justice Judith McMahon of Staten Island to the case.
But several hours later, at 4:12pm, attorneys on the case received another automated message from the court system notifying them that Judge Arthur Engoron was assigned back to the case.
