Former President Donald Trump speaks to media before his trial at the Manhattan criminal court, Tuesday, May 21, 2024, in New York. (Michael M. Santiago/Pool Photo via AP) Local leaders are reacting to the historic verdict of former president Donald Trump who was found guilty on all 34 counts he faced for falsifying business records. The jury returned their verdict just after 5 p.m. in a New York court room, and soon after Florida politicians began reacting. READ MORE: Guilty: Trump becomes first former U.S. president convicted of felony crimes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took to X after the verdict, and said, in part, “In America, the rule of law should be applied in a dispassionate, even-handed manner, not become captive to the political agenda of some kangaroo court.” Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America—all in an effort to “get” Donald Trump.That… — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) May 30, 2024 Republican Congressman Greg Steube also spoke out on X. He represents Florida’s 17th Congressional District, including northeastern parts of Southwest Florida. A disgrace to our judicial system and constitutional protections of equal justice for all. Americans see right through the Democrats’ scheme. This is nothing but election interference. President Trump will get justice on appeal. — Congressman Greg Steube (@RepGregSteube) May 30, 2024 Republican Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart, who represents Florida’s 26th Congressional District, including parts of SWFL, released a statement regarding the guilty verdict. He said, in part, “The case against former President Trump is an obvious and blatant travesty of justice and a political witch hunt.” Democratic Representative Frederica Wilson, who serves Florida’s 24 Congressional District, including the Miami-Dade County area, commented on X in part, “Now that Trump is a convicted felon, under Florida law, he can’t even vote for himself in the election!” Now that Trump is a convicted felon, under Florida law, he can’t even vote for himself in the election!That’s karma right there! — Rep. Frederica Wilson (@RepWilson) May 30, 2024 Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz said on X that no one is above the law. She said, in part, “A jury of Trump’s peers heard the facts and were clear: no one is above the law.” A jury of Trump’s peers heard the facts and were clear: no one is above the law. Like any felon he can appeal his conviction. But for a man who fraudulently tried to overturn a fair election the ruling is no surprise & affirms that even powerful ex-presidents face accountability. — Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (@RepDWStweets) May 30, 2024 She also represents a portion of Southeastern Florida. Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio spoke out on X and said, in part, “Biden and the Trump-deranged left will stop at nothing to remain in power.” The verdict in New York is a complete travesty that makes a mockery of our system of justice A political show trial conducted by an openly pro-Biden judge whose daughter makes money off the case, a jury from the most liberal county in America, absurd and ridiculous charges and… — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 30, 2024 Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott released a picture of him with the former president and his lawyer on X after the verdict. In the tweet he said, “I went to New York to stand with President Trump and the American voters will stand with him this November.” This was a sham trial and the clearest example we’ve ever seen of election interference. I am furious and no American is safe from Democrat political persecution. Joe Biden and the Democrat machine manufactured a legal case against Trump to win an election. I went to New York… pic.twitter.com/Hp8oM81Fdn — Rick Scott (@ScottforFlorida) May 30, 2024 President Joe Biden’s campaign released a statement regarding the verdict, concluding it by saying, “The threat Trump poses to our democracy has never been greater. He is running an increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution, pledging to be a dictator ‘on day one’ and calling for our Constitution to be ‘terminated’ so he can regain and keep power. A second Trump term means chaos, ripping away Americans’ freedoms and fomenting political violence – and the American people will reject it this November.” Trump is now the first former president in the history of the United States to be convicted of a crime. The charges come associated with a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to a porn actor who said the two had sex, noted.
