Ramaswamy called the prosecution a charade and provided a litmus test to determine if someone is a victim of politicized prosecution.
Ramaswamy questioned the prosecution’s theory that Trump’s payment to Stormy Daniels should have been recorded as a campaign contribution. He argued that without this, the charges would only be a misdemeanor that has surpassed the statutes of limitations.
Ramaswamy suggested that if Trump had used campaign funds for the payment, the prosecution would have a stronger case.
He believed that regardless of what Trump did, his opponents were determined to charge him. Ramaswamy concluded that the prosecution was a sham and airtight proof of the unfair treatment Trump was facing.
