Fox News: New York defense attorney argues legal system was weaponized against Trump
Arthur Aidala, a New York defense attorney, claims that the legal system has been "weaponized" against Donald Trump, particularly in the lead-up to the 2024 election. He cites multiple legal challenges Trump faces, including a conviction for falsifying business records, as evidence of targeted actions by the DOJ and New York officials.
Despite these challenges, Trump received an unconditional discharge with no penalties from a New York judge, allowing him to appeal the conviction. Aidala argues that the legal actions taken against Trump are unprecedented and have significantly impacted him personally and professionally.
