GOP presidential rivals react to Trump civil trial verdict
Fox News
Donald Trump's rivals in the 2024 presidential election have shared their shots on a grand jury's decision to hold the former president liable for sexual abuse.
"Based on the sheer timing of the allegations – that the alleged offense occurred in the mid-1990s and Ms. Carroll did not sue until 2019-2022, far beyond the normal statute of limitations for the underlying offense, and in the middle of a spate of other legal charges against Trump for other ancient allegations – this seems like just another part of the establishment’s anaphylactic response against its chief political allergen: Donald Trump," Ramaswamy said. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
Ramaswamy, a 37-year-old first-time candidate and multi-millionaire entrepreneur who announced his candidacy in late February, said the 2024 presidential race would be easier without Trump, but lamented the weaponization of "the law with decades-old allegations to undercut" political opponents.
