The Left is doing everything they can to attack Donald Trump. But they have found that America is rallying behind the former President.
And now, a top political leader has delivered a strong Trump trial message that has Democrats scared.
In a strong message outside the New York City courtroom, Senator JD Vance voiced his support for former President Donald Trump while criticizing the credibility of the prosecution’s “star witness,” Michael Cohen, in the ongoing trial concerning falsified business records.
Vance’s remarks underscored a broader critique of what many Americans see as a politically motivated legal process.

During a press briefing on Monday, Senator Vance expressed doubts about the reliability of Michael Cohen, who once served as Trump’s lawyer and now is a convicted felon.
Cohen’s history of legal troubles, including his admission of recording conversations with Trump, has cast a shadow on his credibility.
Vance openly questioned the integrity of Cohen’s testimony, suggesting that it would ultimately undermine the prosecution’s case.
“Does any reasonable, sensible person believe anything that Michael Cohen says? I don’t think that they should. And I actually think that his testimony is going to hurt with any reasonable juror, and hopefully, we have a few of those,” Vance stated emphatically.
The trial, overseen by Judge Juan Merchan, has attracted significant media attention, not least because of the controversial gag order imposed on Trump.
Vance highlighted this order as part of what he described as a broader pattern of prosecutorial misconduct aimed at sidelining a prominent political figure rather than engaging in a fair legal process.
Vance did not mince words when he spoke about the political implications of the trial.
He pointed to connections between Judge Merchan’s family and Democratic political activities, as well as the involvement of figures he described as aligned with Democratic interests, including New York DA Alvin Bragg, who Vance noted was funded by George Soros.
“The judge inside, his daughter is making millions of dollars running against Donald Trump, raising money for Donald Trump’s political opponents. The number three person in the Department of Justice, Biden’s Department of Justice, left to become a local prosecutor to go after Donald Trump. And of course, there’s Alvin Bragg, a Soros-funded prosecutor who promised to go after Donald Trump and now is doing exactly that,” Vance charged.
The implications of the trial extend beyond the courtroom, according to Vance, who argued that the proceedings reflect a misuse of the judicial system for partisan ends.
This, he argued, poses a threat to the democratic principles that underpin the American political system.
“Now look, whether you love Donald Trump, whether you like Donald Trump, or whether you’re a Democrat or don’t care about politics, what’s going on inside that courtroom is a threat to American democracy, ladies and gentlemen. We cannot have a country where you get to prosecute your political opponents instead of persuading voters,” Vance declared.
As the trial continues, Vance’s presence and remarks have catalyzed a discussion about the role of the judiciary and the potential for political interference.
His defense of Trump serves as a rallying cry for those who view the prosecution as overreach by a politicized judiciary.
Amidst inflation and international conflict, Vance suggests, this trial serves as a distraction rather than a legitimate legal proceeding, a theme likely to persist as the case unfolds.
Vance’s appearance at the courthouse, alongside other notable Republican figures such as Senator Tommy Tuberville and Representative Nicole Malliotakis, highlights the depth of support Trump retains within significant segments of the GOP.
It also emphasizes the divisive nature of this trial, not only within the context of New York politics but across the broader national landscape, shaping public discourse around justice, accountability, and political rivalry in America.
As long as the Radical Left continues to weaponize the justice system to prosecute their political rivals, our freedoms as Americans are not safe.
