Florida Senator Rick Scott (R) is the first member of the Senate to attend President Donald Trump’s (R) criminal trial. Accepting an invitation from Susie Wiles, a senior advisor for President Trump’s campaign who also managed the senator’s first gubernatorial run, Senator Scott showed his support for the Republican presidential challenger.
In a press briefing regarding his court attendance, Senator Scott shared his thoughts on the trial, saying that it’s nothing short of election interfering.
“I’m here because I’ve known Donald Trump a long time. I knew him before I was governor. I consider him a friend, and what he is going through is just despicable,” he said. “It’s a crime in this country to use a court system to go after your political opponent. What’s happening in this court room is clearly criminal.”
