Legal expert Jonathan Turley weighs in on the Donald Trump trial in New York. Turley called it an embarrassment and wants to know what the crime is. Many Americans believe Donald Trump is the target of a political ‘witch hunt’ created to reduce his ability to campaign for president. Some people believe the targeting of Donald Trump has made him stronger. USA Journal reported on Turley’s statement about the ongoing Donald Trump trial, quoting Turley’s commentary:
“What is clear, is in this case, Trump is right. I mean, this is an embarrassment. I mean, the fact that we are actually talking about this case being presented in a New York courtroom, leaves me in utter disbelief. I mean, the arguments today did, in fact, capture all the problems here,” Turley said Monday afternoon.
“You had this misdemeanor under state law that had run out; this is going back to relate it to the 2016 election. And they zapped it back into life by alleging that there was a campaign finance violation under the federal laws that doesn’t exist,” he said.
