“What a waste of time. I mean, what a waste of time. Pure political theater. They were never going to convict a former president or a sitting president without any charges,” Charlamagne said. “And what was even more ridiculous was watching liberals celebrate this, like, this is not a victory. Who cares if you can be called a sentenced felon?
A Manhattan jury in May convicted Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 hush-money payment to former porn actress Stormy Daniels. President Trump repeats explained The payment was made as “legal costs” during the sentencing hearing, and he maintained that he had not falsified his business records and was “totally innocent.”
playing cards Posted On True Social Friday, he announced he would appeal the case.
“By re-electing me by an overwhelming vote in one of the most consequential elections in history, the real jurors, the American people, have made their voices heard.As the American people have seen, Now, this “case” has no crime, no damages, no evidence, no facts, no law, just a highly inconsistent judge, a disqualified, disgraced star witness who is a serial perjurer, and a criminal election. There was only interference. ” he wrote. “Today’s events were a despicable farce, but now that they are over, we will appeal these meritless hoaxes and restore the American people’s faith in our once-great justice system. ”Make America Great Again! ”
Charlamagne also criticized Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Friday for asking the Georgia Supreme Court to reinstate her and take back her election interference lawsuit against Trump.
“They shouldn’t continue with the lawsuit. It’s a waste of time. They’re not going to do anything to him,” he said. “Nothing will happen. What will happen? Nothing will happen. But it’s all political theater. It’s stupid.”
CBS News legal contributor Caroline Polisi said Thursday that Willis’ attempt to get his case back is likely to fail after the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified him in December.
“I don’t think she has much of a chance of winning,” Polisi said. “This is a pretty well-known conservative court, and they’re going to have to overturn the appellate court. So I don’t think that’s going to work out well for her.”
