Caitlyn Jenner criticized the jury verdict finding former President Donald Trump guilty on all counts in his New York business records trial.
Jenner, a strong Trump supporter, echoed Trump’s comments that the trial was unfair and the result of a “compromised” system, calling it a “persecution.”
“VERDICT REACHED!!! DONALD J TRUMP IS BEING PERSECUTED BY CORRUPT STATE OF NY AND COMPROMISED DOJ!,” Jenner wrote online.
Trump himself had briefly spoken after the verdict, decrying the trial as “rigged” and the judge as “corrupt.”
Both Jenner and Trump asserted the real judgment would come from voters in the November midterm elections and vowed to continue fighting the case’s outcome.
“This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt,” Trump said.
“The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people, and they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here,” he added.
“We’ll fight to the end.”
