WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued a statement today addressing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s actions concerning the legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump.

“To curry the favor of political allies, DA Bragg took it upon himself to engage in brazen legal alchemy that has set a very damning precedent – the verdicts levied against President Trump are steeped in partisan animus,” Foxx stated. “This decision will inevitably be thrown out by an appeal, but the damage will be done. A political opponent will have grounded a presidential candidate and branded his candidacy. This is beyond outrageous. The rule of law has long served as the foundation for our country, but today, a dark, new chapter has been opened – one where judicial warfare is given a higher priority than fairness.”

Foxx's remarks come amid heightened political tensions surrounding the legal actions taken against Trump, highlighting concerns about potential partisan motivations influencing judicial decisions.
