IOWA — On Thursday evening a jury found former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. This is the first time a former president has ever been convicted of felony crimes.
Several Iowa politicians released statements following the announcement of the guilty verdict.
America saw this trial for what it was, a sham. For years, Democrats like Alvin Bragg have been trying to put President Trump in jail with complete disregard for our democracy and the will of the American People. The only verdict that matters is the one at the ballot box in November where the American people will elect President Trump again.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds.
This is a disgrace and a total sham. This has been a political prosecution from the very beginning orchestrated by Biden. President Trump will fight this and we must all fight alongside him to right this wrong & re-elect him as President. The future of our country depends on it.
Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
In 7 years as an Assistant Attorney General, I found juries in both liberal and conservative counties took the work seriously and tried to do right. Jurors deserve our thanks and respect.”
