Wasserman Schultz on Trump Conviction

A jury of Trump’s peers heard the facts and were clear: no one is above our laws.

Weston, Fla. – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) released the following statement in response to a jury finding former President Donald Trump guilty of on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a hush money case:

“A jury of Trump’s peers heard the facts and were clear: no one is above our laws. No matter what Trump says, a jury determined the facts in this case were clear beyond a reasonable doubt. Yet like any felon, he can appeal this conviction. But for a man who used fraud to try to influence the outcome and then tried to overturn a fair election and consistently disregards the law, this ruling is no surprise. And it affirms that the rich and powerful – and even ex-presidents – still face accountability in America.”
