Rep. Byron Donalds urges Supreme Court to ‘step in’ on Trump conviction
SUMMARY
Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds urged the Supreme Court to intervene in former President Donald Trump's New York case, where Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records. Donalds, echoing Speaker Mike Johnson, criticized the case as politically motivated to disrupt Trump's electoral prospects. He highlighted the lengthy appellate process in New York as a reason for the Supreme Court to act sooner. Donalds, reportedly on Trump's VP shortlist, affirmed his capability to assume higher office if needed. Trump, at a Michigan event, hinted at Donalds' VP potential. Trump's legal team plans an appeal, navigating through New York's appellate courts before any Supreme Court consideration.
