When Judge Juan Merchan sentenced former President Donald Trump this morning, he let him go with an “unconditional discharge.” But Trump issued a burning indictment of his own.
“This has been a weaponization of government – they call it lawfare — never happened to any extent like this, but never happened in our country before,” Trump said, according to audio from the sentencing. “It’s an injustice of justice.”
Trump called his show trial — in which he was convicted for labeling payments to a lawyer as legal expenses — a “very terrible experience” and a “tremendous setback for New York and the New York court system.”
