Kellyanne Conway claims Trump won’t receive a fair trial due to America’s unequal justice system.

Former White House Counselor ⁤Kellyanne Conway: Trump Won’t​ Get a Fair Trial

Former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway has expressed concerns about the fairness of the trial ⁣against former President Donald Trump under the Biden administration’s justice system.

“There’s a two-tiered system of justice. It seems like there’s one for Donald Trump and one for everyone else,” Ms. Conway told ​ Fox‌ News host Sean Hannity on Aug. 16.

She ⁢added, “How in the world‌ can we ⁢have the most liberal ⁤county in Georgia, D.C., New York City—all these places that voted against him—I ‌don’t ⁣think he could get a⁤ fair‍ trial, to be frank with you.”

The former president is currently facing two federal cases. One⁤ in Florida involves allegations of mishandling classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort, while the other in Washington relates to his ‌attempts to challenge the results of ‍the 2020 election.

Additionally, Mr. Trump is facing two state cases. In New York, he has ⁣been indicted for falsifying business records, and in Fulton County, Georgia, he and 18 co-defendants were recently indicted ⁢in connection⁤ with his efforts to dispute the state’s 2020 ⁤election results.

“I don’t think people ​facing the cameras with ⁢glee, promising to ‘get Donald ⁣Trump’ as part ​of their election pitch as law enforcement⁢ officers, as district attorneys ⁤and whatnot—I think he ⁤has a lot of runway that will allow him to make that argument,” Ms. Conway said.

With a total of 91 criminal charges across the four indictments, Mr.⁤ Trump ​is the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice and charged criminally.

“It’s a very sad moment for the country.⁢ We are in ⁣uncharted waters,” Ms. Conway continued. “I think‍ that this will ⁣be litigated ⁢at the ballot box.”

The fourth​ indictment against ​Mr. Trump⁤ sparked mixed reactions in Congress, with Democrats celebrating⁣ the new charges against the former‍ president and Republicans issuing criticism.

Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) told Fox News on Aug. 16 that the indictment​ in Georgia⁤ illustrates “a two-tiered system of justice” in⁢ the United ⁣States, where individuals are being prosecuted for acting‍ “in any way​ that’s contrary to the party in‍ power.”

“So, it looks⁢ as if we’re going to⁢ be ⁣spending more time focused on ⁤courtrooms than we are going to be focused on actual Presidential debates going forward,” the senator added. “It’s a ⁤sad day for America when we find ourselves in this situation.”

Ms. Conway, a former 2016 campaign manager to Mr. Trump, said there is a ⁢reason why the former president is leading in the polls.

“I will tell⁤ you that part ​of why President Trump is way ‌ahead of ​many different Republican aspirants for the presidential nomination is people see​ him as a fighter, and they see him as a winner, and⁤ they ‌see him, a ⁤little​ bit, as a victim,”‌ she said.

According to a new poll from Quinnipiac​ University, ⁤which ⁣was ‌conducted between Aug. 10 and Aug. 14, Mr. Trump received 57 percent of support in the GOP primary field, holding a⁣ commanding lead ⁣over his ‍closest rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who picked up 18 percent of support.

Vivek Ramaswamy finished in third with 5⁤ percent of support,⁢ followed ⁤by ‌former vice president ⁤Mike Pence with 4 percent of support.

In a hypothetical general election match-up, 47 percent of respondents said they ⁢would support​ President Joe Biden, while 46 percent would support Mr. Trump, according to the poll.

As of​ Aug. 16, Mr. Trump is leading‌ Mr.‍ DeSantis​ by 39.8 percentage⁤ points, according to a RealClearPolitics’ Republican presidential primary average of all recent polling data.

Fulton‍ County District ‍Attorney Fani Willis has proposed ⁤a March​ 4, 2024, trial ‍date for​ Mr. Trump ⁣and his co-defendants. The attorney’s office is also requesting that⁢ arraignments take place during⁢ the week of Sept. 5.
