By now, we’ve all heard the news that Donald Trump was found guilty of all 34 felony counts of falsifying his company’s business records to keep information from voters that he knew would harm his 2016 presidential campaign.
This isn’t just about “hush money” payments.
It’s about breaking the law to hide the truth from the American people 11 days before a presidential election.
Trump has a clear pattern of lying to the American people and trying to undermine our elections to cling to power. He still faces three additional indictments and 54 criminal charges, including federal charges for inciting an insurrection to overturn the 2020 election. Despite all of this, he’s still running for president.
Donald Trump is a convicted fraudster and criminal who still poses a massive threat to our fundamental freedoms. We can’t let him hold the highest office in our land in 2025. It’s up to all of us to hold him accountable and defeat him at the ballot box in November.
