Stefanik continued in her comment that the trial was "overseen by a corrupt and highly conflicted Judge who is a Biden donor and his own family has profited off this case."

TRUMP SAYS COSTLY TRIAL IS 'PROVING MY POINT' THAT COURTS ARE WEAPONIZED AGAINST HIM: 'DISGRACE'
"This corrupt Democrat Judge routinely sided with the prosecution and prevented President Trump’s defense from calling a critical witness to the stand. The prosecution team that brought forward this case consisted of a Soros-funded Far Left Democrat District Attorney on a vendetta, Democrat political operatives, and Democrat donors. From the start, the weaponized scales of justice were stacked against President Trump. Joe Biden, Far Left Democrats, and their stenographers in the mainstream media have made it clear they will stop at nothing to prevent President Trump from returning to the White House. We must work around the clock to ensure President Trump is victorious this November to save America from Biden’s failed Far Left Democrat agenda and the illegal weaponization of the justice system against the American people."

Amid the trial, Stefanik filed an ethics complaint against Judge Juan Merchan for an alleged conflict of interest related to his daughter's role representing Democrat politicians and political action committees. She sent another letter to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct and the Office of the Inspector General of the New York State Unified Court System, warning of "potential misconduct" regarding Merchan’s repeated assignments to cases involving Trump or his allies.
Trump will be sentenced on July 11, four days before the opening of the Republican National Convention.
