The criminal cases against Donald Trump have ‘backfired’

Former Trump senior advisor Christian Whiton says the criminal indictments against Donald Trump have “backfired”.

A judge has delayed sentencing in former US president Donald Trump's hush money trial until three weeks after the US election on November 26.

“They actually elevated Donald Trump throughout the primary process – they didn’t push support away from him, they drew it to him,” Mr Whiton said.

“A lot of people see it as the politicisation of the justice system.”
