The California Democrat spotted a "fascinating thing" about GOP lawmakers after the verdict in the former president's hush money trial.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) dropped a brutal reminder for Republicans about Donald Trump on Thursday as he quoted the Manhattan jury’s verdict in the former president’s hush money trial last month.
“Guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty,” Schiff said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing.
“This was what the jury pronounced unanimously on every count.”
Republicans on the committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), announced the hearing to examine what they referred to as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s “political prosecution” of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
The former president and his Republican allies have pushed a “political persecution” claim in the wake of the conviction.
He’s also made claims that try to link President Joe Biden and the Justice Department to the case despite Bragg’s office being responsible for prosecuting state crimes in Manhattan.
Schiff’s remarks were made roughly two weeks after Trump was found guilty on all 34 criminal charges of falsifying business records to cover up a payment just before the 2016 presidential election to silence allegations of a 2006 sexual encounter with adult film star Stormy Daniels while he was married.
