Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz says District Attorney Alvin Bragg should be subject to an investigation. “I think it’s even worse that he won because that creates a terrible precedent for other district attorneys around the country to make up crimes against their political opponents. We’re going to see more of that,” he says.

Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz says the House of Representatives needs to hold hearings and subpoenas on former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. “If the judiciary is off the rails and if the prosecutor, the judge, and the jury are all biased against the defendant... You need the judiciary to be under control and under watch. And that’s the appropriate role of the legislature,” he says.

Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz predicts Judge Juan Merchan will sentence former President Donald Trump to prison, but suspend the sentence. “He gets the symbolism of prison without him actually having to go to jail,” he says. “He will sentence him to two years in prison suspended because he has no prior record or something like that. But he’s not going to just give him probation or just a fine. He’s going to try to do more than that.”

Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz isn’t confident the appellate division of New York will overturn former President Donald Trump’s conviction. “I don’t think judges want to walk around the city of New York and have people point the finger at them and say ‘That’s the judge that made Trump president’,” he says. Dershowitz says Trump may have a chance in the New York Court of Appeals.

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg addresses the jury’s verdict in former President Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial. "While this defendant may be unlike any other in American history... we arrived at this trial and ultimately today at this verdict... by following the facts and the laws, and doing so without fear or favor" he says.

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg praised his prosecution team for embodying “the finest traditions of this office” during a press conference following the jury’s verdict. Former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts in his criminal hush money trial.

Real America’s Voice Correspondent Ben Bergquam says that if anyone can withstand this level of lawfare from Democrats, it’s former President Donald Trump. “If nothing else, this gives him more resolve than he had before,” he says.

Dhillon Law Group Founder Harmeet Dhillon says she’s not optimistic about the New York Court of Appeals expediting former President Donald Trump’s appeal. “Unless the New York Appeals Court wants to do that for its own political purposes and that wouldn’t surprise me. And that’s not going to be favorable for President Trump,” she says.

Heritage Foundation Senior Legal Fellow Hans von Spakovsky says the United States looks like a third-world country when it targets the leading political opponent with lawfare.

Article III Project Founder and President Mike Davis says Judge Juan Merchan has shown he’s corrupt, partisan, and biased throughout former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. “Don’t be surprised if this judge tries to put President Trump in prison or at a minimum, tries to put him in some sort of home confinement," he says.

Article III Project Founder and President Mike Davis explains the best grounds for former President Donald Trump to appeal the verdict in his criminal hush money trial. Davis says the Appellate court will reverse the verdict but doubts it will happen before November. “That is exactly what Biden is counting on. They want to call Trump a convicted felon to interfere in the election,” he says.

Article III Project Founder and President Mike Davis says the partisan and corrupt verdict in Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial guarantees the former president a landslide victory this November. A New York jury found Trump guilty Thursday on all 34 counts.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says the Biden Justice Department filed a lawsuit against his state over its photo ID requirement for absentee ballots. “When we added photo ID, we had photo ID for all forms of voting in Georgia. Early voting, election day, and also absentee. Voters now have confidence in the process. They know we’ve accurately identified who these voters are that are requesting an absentee ballot,” he says.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has one message for other Secretaries of States dealing with noncitizen voter roll issues: “You need to stop it and you need to stop it now.” “I think they want to wait till it's a big problem and then all of a sudden, what do you do?” he says.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says its very clear Democrats’ long-term plan is to get noncitizens to vote in our elections. “We did an audit, and I think we talked about that. We found about 1,600 people who attempted to register but were never put on the autorolls because of our very robust and rigorous auto process that we have here in Georgia,” he says.

Former federal prosecutor Robert Costello says Judge Juan Merchan “made a very big deal about something that was not a big deal” during former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. On May 20, Merchan ordered the jury and media out of the courtroom so he could criticize defense witness Costello about “proper decorum.”

Former federal prosecutor Robert Costello says he's never seen anything like New York Judge Juan Merchan's instructions to the jury in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. "It seems to me based upon my personal experience in the court, watching him and listening to him frankly make up some accusations about me that just never happened, that he is willing to do whatever is necessary to get a conviction," he says.

Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) reacts to new documents showing federal agents gathered evidence during the 2016 election of then-Vice President Joe Biden meeting with Hunter’s Chinese business partners during an official government trip. “These people need to be prosecuted for lying under oath as should Hunter Biden. He lied under oath to Congress. That’s a felony. We need to start taking names and we need to start prosecuting these people as soon as we take office,” she says.

Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) says President Joe Biden is using the FBI, the IRS, and the SEC to target former President Donald Trump and cover-up Biden family scandals. “It’s almost as if they know that they’re going to get away with it,” she says. “Because as long as they’re in charge, and as long as they manipulate our elections, as long as they continue to commit vote harvesting crimes in all the swings states, they’re going to find a way to cover this all up.”

Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) slams New York Judge Juan Merchan’s instructions to the jury in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. “I’ve seen judges removed for less than the absolute judicial misconduct that we are seeing,” she says.
