Donald Trump Jr. expressed his concerns about the treatment of his father, former President Donald Trump, stating that the current situation sets a troubling precedent for the legal system in the United States. He criticized the ongoing trial as a farce and emphasized that the miscarriage of justice being witnessed should be a cause for embarrassment for all Americans. Trump Jr. highlighted the inconvenience caused by the trial, noting that his father had to cancel a campaign speech due to the unexpected early start of the criminal proceedings by Judge Juan Merchan.
“There’s no crime. The only problem is the witnesses who are experts in these things aren’t allowed to actually testify to that, because you have a rigged system,” Don Jr. explained, highlighting the fact that Judge Merchan has a daughter who is “making millions, millions off of this very case.”
“But you know what, that’s not a problem in New York City — ‘We’re just going to allow it.’ When our defense goes after arguably the least credible witnesses in the history of — I don’t know — witnesses,” he said, “you’re not allowed to ask the damning questions of them.”
Watch:
.@DonaldJTrumpJr: This is setting a disastrous precedent for our legal system for justice in America.
If they can do this to Donald Trump—with a platform, hundreds of millions of followers, and the ability to fight—they will do it to anyone.
