Trump Found Guilty: Inner Circle Responds to Verdict

After two days of deliberations, the jury sitting on the New York hush money trial found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.

For those closest to the former president and his campaign, the jury’s conviction will likely be used as a tool to help engage with voters, highlighting the Democrat’s success in interfering with the 2024 election.

“Guilty on all counts,” Donald Trump Jr. posted on X. “The Democrats have succeeded in their years long attempt to turn America into a third-world sh**hole. November 5 is our last chance to save it.”

Trump Jr. called the verdict “such bullshit” and noted that the sentencing is just four days before the GOP convention.

“They’re not even trying to hide the ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!!” Trump Jr. tweeted.

As for Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former lawyer and co-defendant in the Arizona 2020 election interference case, he called the verdict a “political prosecution” with the sole purpose of “rigging the 2024 election” in a livestream on X.

“These are the kind of verdicts that occur in dictatorships and third world, and Banana Republic governments not in countries or democracies ruled by law,” Giuliani said. “The law had nothing to do with this case.”

Giuliani notes that the jury was told that they could disregard precedent set for 800 years and agree on a partial verdict to convict.

Guilani is not the only one to reference the Banana Republic, for political commentator and long time Trump supporter Candace Owens said that the level of corruption that has plagued the Banana Republic is the same for the United States.

“Nothing is legitimate— not the media, our elections, or the courts,” Owens said on X.

Fellow  conservative movement leader Charlie Kirk said he is even more emboldened to rally behind Trump given the recent guilty conviction.

“I support Trump MORE after this crap,” Kirk said on X. “We must win.”

Arizona U.S. Senate hopeful Kari Lake has called the verdict “legal tyranny” which will likely be rejected by voters come election day.

“This is a non-crime that a Soros-backed DA conjured out of thin air and placed in front of a highly conflicted Democrat judge, all in an effort to imprison Joe Biden’s political opponent.”

Vivek Ramaswamy, who is being considered by Trump for a cabinet position if elected, said “this will backfire.”

“The prosecutor is a politician who promised to nail Trump,” Ramaswamy said on X. “The judge’s daughter is a Democrat operative who literally *raised $$ from the trial* while her father presided over it. The jury instructions said they didn’t have to agree on the crime to convict.”

Former U.S. representative, 2020 presidential candidate and potential vice president contender for Trump, Tulsi Gabbard shared on X that the Biden administration’s role in the trial should not be overlooked.

“Biden: GUILTY of abuse of power. Biden: GUILTY of turning our country into a banana republic where those in power use the law to go after their political opponents. Biden: GUILTY of undermining our Constitution and the freedoms guaranteed therein. Biden has proven he is unfit for the office of the presidency.”
