As you may have heard, Donald Trump was just found guilty on all 34 felony counts in his New York election interference trial.

Here’s what Public Citizen Vice President Lisa Gilbert told the national media:

This is a historic moment for democracy. A jury heard evidence that Donald Trump illegally interfered in the 2016 election. That jury then rendered a fair and appropriate verdict.

New York’s prosecutors served justice by bringing this case. We applaud the jury for doing its job and standing up for the fundamental principle that no one is above the law, not even a former president.

Justice was served today. On to the next trial!

Stay tuned for more about Public Citizen’s ongoing work to fight Trumpism and to protect our democracy.

For justice,

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
