Rep. Adam Schiff on Thursday began his time in a House Judiciary hearing on the Manhattan district attorney’s office by quoting the jury's conviction in former president Donald Trump's New York hush money trial.
“Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty,” the California Democrat continued. “This was what the jury pronounced unanimously on every count.”
Schiff criticized Republicans’ response to the verdict, noting that many in the GOP did not dispute that Trump made hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, but rather insisted that his prosecution was political.
“What they're really saying is they're more than comfortable electing, nominating, and electing as the president of the United States someone making hush money payments to a porn star,” Schiff said. “The party formerly of the moral majority is now, I suppose, hoping to fashion some kind of immoral majority to reinstate Donald Trump as president.”
