Sen. Chris Coons (D-Delaware) said Tuesday on MSNBC's “Deadline” that he believes “all” of the criminal charges against former President Donald Trump are “well-founded.” .
Anchor Ali Belushi said, “Let me show you what Donald Trump said about this.'' He said, “Every four years, we repeat a cycle of political accusations in which one administration attacks the previous administration.'' I can't do that.'' We open a Pandora's box of political prosecution after political prosecution. In fact, Joe Biden could be charged with trying to prevent this man from becoming the next president of the United States. ” That's nonsense because that's not how it actually works. Please come to the Senate for a moment. Doesn't that actually happen in a functioning democracy? ”
“What Donald Trump is trying to say there is that all the cases against him are just trumped-up charges that are politically motivated,” Coons said. Ultimately, I think the true judge of that will be not only the American voters, but also jurors of his fellow citizens in several different cases. Some of these have economic consequences in state and federal courts, including litigation in New York. Some of them have personal or political consequences, such as actions in Georgia and actions by the federal government. ”
He added, “In my opinion, those are all well-founded accusations. 93 in four different serious cases where former President Trump is trying to characterize all of these as baseless political theater. It is true that no U.S. president has ever been criminally indicted or indicted for crimes against him. Although he is a strong supporter, I think he will ultimately fail. Just as all of his 60 legal challenges to the have failed.”
