The day the verdict was reached in New York v. Trump will go down as a dark day in our nation’s history. The former president was convicted and could be thrown in jail over charges that should have never been brought against him in the first place. This case was led by a left-wing prosecutor who ran for office promising to bring charges against Trump; it was overseen by a left-wing judge whose own daughter was helping Democrat politicians fundraise off the trial; and it was held in one of the most liberal cities in America.
What the verdict in New York v. Trump makes clear is that liberals are intent on using any means necessary to stop their political opponents. While Trump’s case will rightly be overturned on appeal, this whole sham process has been about one thing: The Biden administration’s allies using the government to silence their political opponents – something the Left has been doing for years. We saw it with the Russia collusion hoax, the two sham impeachments, and the effort by liberal states to ban Trump from the ballot, an egregious example of election interference that was ultimately blocked by the Supreme Court.
At the same time the Left is going to unprecedented lengths to take down their political opponents, they’re also using the government to protect their allies – something we have seen time and again throughout House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry, which I’m helping to lead as the Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
Under my leadership, the Ways and Means Committee helped bring to light the testimony of two brave IRS whistleblowers who alleged that the Department of Justice (DOJ) obstructed and blocked their investigation into the president’s son, Hunter Biden. In addition, they exposed that President Biden was not truthful when he told the American people that he was unaware of his son’s shady, multimillion-dollar business schemes. As the evidence we’ve uncovered makes clear, Joe Biden isn’t the only member of his family who hasn’t been truthful.
