counterpoint a not guilty verdict on 34 felonies would have only helped the rapist and former president at the ballot box
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he believed Donald Trump’s conviction would only help the former president at the ballot box. The independent presidential candidate echoed many of Trump’s Republican allies who criticized the verdict as politically motivated.
