In a nationwide survey, voters from California to Tennessee expressed outrage over the ongoing trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City, labeling it a "sham" and "blatant political corruption."
Across the United States, residents from diverse cities have joined forces in denouncing the trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City as a mockery of justice and a blatantly political attack. In interviews with Fox News Digital, voters from Fresno, California to Washington, D.C. to Nashville, Tennessee voiced their deep skepticism and outrage over the proceedings.
Ginger, a Nashville resident, condemned the trial as a "disgrace," expressing her belief that it was targeting their former president for political reasons. Gabe, a resident of Washington, D.C., echoed her sentiments, stating that he was "flabbergasted" by the blatant political corruption and targeting in the case.
"It sounds like it's a kangaroo court, actually," added Brad from Fresno, California. He went on to criticize the trial as a "total farce" and expressed shock if it were not thrown out.
Multiple residents expressed skepticism about the charges against Trump, with some flatly stating his innocence. Steve, from Washington, D.C., asserted that Trump was completely innocent and believed the case was politically motivated. He expressed doubts about the fairness of the New York jurors, stating that "people don't always listen to the facts if they don't like Trump."
One Fresno resident responded with a sarcastic question when asked about the political nature of the case: "Is the Pope Catholic?" Robert referred to it as "major political warfare" and "lawfare," a term used to describe the misuse of the legal system for political purposes.
Other voters, however, expressed sympathy for the case against Trump. Wayne, from Bellingham, Washington, stated that "if you break the law, you should be held accountable" and believed Trump had done so on multiple occasions. Tina, a Nashville voter, agreed, calling him "criminally guilty," while Cindy added that "anyone else would have already been in jail."
Prosecutors in the case must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump falsified records to conceal a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels in 2016 in furtherance of conspiracy to promote or prevent election. It marks the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president in history.
The defense in New York v. Trump rested its case without calling the former president to testify. The jury is expected to hear closing arguments next week.
Despite the differing views on the merits of the case, many voters expressed concerns about the fairness of the trial. Gary, a Nashville voter, questioned the legality of investigating someone to find a crime, alleging that was the intent of the prosecution.
The nationwide survey highlights the deep divide and skepticism surrounding the Trump trial, with many Americans expressing outrage and questioning the legitimacy of the proceedings.
