Statement by County Leader Keith L.T. Wright on the Criminal Conviction of Donald J. Trump

“Today, we applaud the fine men and women of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, led by the incomparable Alvin Bragg, for their diligent and professional work in seeking justice and accountability on behalf of our county, our state, and the entire nation — all in the face of attacks and threats encouraged by the very same former president who makes history today as the first to be criminally convicted,” said County Leader Keith L.T. Wright.

“Let this be a reminder that no one is above the law; and that while republicans back 34-Count Trump who doesn’t believe in democracy, our Party continues to govern for the people.”
