Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) stated on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is attempting to frame former President Donald Trump.
Anchor Dana Bash remarked, “I want to ask about the closing arguments in the criminal trial in New York. They are set for Tuesday. The jury could deliver a verdict later this week on 34 felony charges. I know you’ve criticized the prosecutors and the judge, but this case will ultimately be decided by 12 ordinary citizens. Do you have faith that the jury is going to deliver a fair verdict?”
Bash continued, “But just to be clear, you have faith in the jury system, and specifically, these 12 ordinary Americans who will ultimately decide?”
Scott responded, “I know that 96% is the number I’ve heard regarding the percentage of Democrats in that area of Manhattan. So I hope they come to the right decision. I assume that he will be found innocent.”
