Today a jury of everyday Americans found former President Donald Trump guilty of 34 felonies. The charges are related to falsifying business records to cover up hush-money payments in the final weeks of the 2016 Presidential campaign.
Progress Iowa executive director Matt Sinovic issued the following statement in response to former President Trump’s conviction:
“Today’s ruling proves that in America, no one is above the law. Including former presidents. After months of attempting to dodge his day in court, a jury of Americans decided to convict Donald Trump.
Governor Kim Reynolds and Iowa Republicans have consistently sided with Trump even as evidence mounted against him. After today’s verdict, it’s time they stop covering for Trump, now a convicted felon, and finally stand up for the rule of law and the everyday Americans on the jury who found Trump guilty.”
