Trump convicted by ‘kangaroo court’ – Texas governor

The Manhattan trial was an attempt to sabotage the former president’s bid for reelection, Greg Abbott has said

The New York trial in which presidential candidate Donald Trump was convicted was a sham perpetrated by the incumbent US president, Joe Biden, to strike out against a political opponent, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said.

On Thursday, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of all 34 counts of falsifying business records, making Trump the first former president in US history to be convicted of a felony.

Prosecutors alleged that the former president illegally covered up a hush money payment that his former attorney, Michael Cohen, made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the weeks before the 2016 presidential election to ensure her silence about an alleged affair from a decade prior.

Trump has denied that he had an affair with Daniels, and his legal team has said they will appeal the verdict.

The Republican presidential nominee’s fellow party members took to social media to slam the verdict.

“This was a sham show trial. The Kangaroo Court will never stand on appeal,” Greg Abbott wrote on X (formerly Twitter) early Friday. “Americans deserve better than a sitting U.S. President weaponizing our justice system against a political opponent – all to win an election, we must FIRE Joe Biden in November.   — Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) May 30, 2024
