According to Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., there may be some jurors in former President Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial who are questioning the legitimacy of the case against him, as he told Newsmax on Monday.

Donalds expressed his thoughts on the jurors during an appearance on “Wake Up America,” stating, “I will tell you there’s probably one, maybe two, jurors on there that when [former Trump lawyer] Michael Cohen was getting cross-examined and his lies were beginning to be unraveled, you had a couple of jurors make faces, you know, like their body language looked a little interesting.”

He continued, “Like they were questioning why are we even here? And so, my hope is that you have one or two jurors who do the right thing, who realize that there’s no crime here. This is all election interference. This is a political hit job brought to us by [President] Joe Biden, [Manhattan District Attorney] Alvin Bragg and this crazy Judge Juan Merchan in New York.”

As a staunch Trump ally, Donalds sat in on the former president’s trial last week, describing the proceedings as “surreal.” He emphasized that there is no case or evidence against Trump, and criticized the judge for his political affiliations and misuse of the justice system.

Regarding speculation about Trump’s vice-presidential pick, Donalds, who is reportedly in the running, stated, “you can’t predict politics.” He emphasized the importance of doing your job and letting the voters make their decision.
