Former Democrat Gov. of New York blasts Trump trial, supports 'rigging' claim

Former President Donald Trump has been gaining allies in both the GOP and the Democrat Party following his guilty verdict in a blatantly political New York hush-money trial.

Former New York Gov. David Paterson became the latest Democrat to come out in support of Trump when he shocked liberals by proclaiming that the trial was "rigged" from the start, just as Trump has claimed for months.

Speaking to 77 WABC radio’s The Cats Roundtable on Sunday, Paterson explained, "There are a lot … of erroneous qualities to that trial. Some of the people who are involved: A person who worked at the White House somehow wound up in the Manhattan DA’s Office. All of it, when it adds up, really looks very much like what the former president describes it as."

That statement was in reference to a prosecutor who worked in President Biden's DOJ before going to work in Manhattan, where he played a key role in Trump's conviction.

Paterson went on to call out Joe Biden saying, "There was a press release [after former President Trump’s conviction] from the White House: ‘No one is above the law.’ I think President Biden should be real careful. There are investigations on him and his son right now. That dog could come back to bite him."

In fact, everything we have seen indicates that it is Democrats like Joe Biden who are above the law. It's worth remembering that Trump is facing federal charges for mishandling classified documents while President Joe Biden was never charged for almost identical conduct.
