Caitlyn Jenner slammed after calling Donald Trump's guilty verdict in hush money case 'outrageous'
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Media personality Caitlyn Jenner has expressed her anger towards the guilty verdict against Donald Trump in the hush money trial.
The former president was convicted on Thursday, May 30, following weeks of hearings in the Manhattan court.
DA Alvin Bragg stands with the verdict
Despite labeling the legal process as "rigged," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg emphasized that “the 12 everyday jurors vowed to make a decision based on the evidence and the law, and the evidence and the law alone.”
“Their deliberations led them to a unanimous conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant Donald J Trump is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, to conceal a scheme to corrupt the 2016 election,” Bragg added.
Caitlyn Jenner supports Trump
However, Caitlyn Jenner supported Trump by writing on X, “An outrageous day for America. The entire process has been outrageous, of course. Shame on the state of New York. Shame on the corrupt DOJ.”

This guilty verdict doesn’t shame Trump, it shames our country.
Ohio Senator JD Vance added, “This decision is a disgrace to the rule of law and our Constitution. Dems invented a felony to "get Trump," with the help of a Soros-funded prosecutor and a Biden donor Judge, who rigged the entire case to get this outcome. This isn't justice, it's election interference.”
