ICYMI: Leslie Lewallen on Trump Verdict: “Sad Day for Our Judicial System”

CAMAS, WA – In case you missed it, yesterday, former King County Prosecutor, Camas City Councilor and Candidate for Congress in Washingtons’ 3rd District, Leslie Lewallen, joined Ari Hoffman on 570 KVI Talk Radio to discuss the recent Trump verdicts, as well as her campaign to represent Washington’s 3rd Congressional District in our nation’s capital.

In the interview, Lewallen recounted President Trump’s trial and guilty verdict saying, “It was a sad day for our judicial system. Lady Justice did take off her blind fold, and every American should be frightened, because every American should be allowed to know what they’re being charged with, have the right to due process, Constitutional protections, and a fair trial. And that’s not what happened at all.”

The former prosecutor continued on saying, “Our judicial system was manipulated to be weaponized against a political opponent. And from start to finish, this trial was fraught with reversible error at every level. And we had a compromised judge, a compromised D.A., two compromised witnesses with financial gain, a gag order, and a jury that was not impartial, and then you put the cherry on top with the very confusing jury instructions. The ruling opens the door wide open for future abuses.”

Lewallen also touched on her candidacy for Congress in Washington’s 3rd District and the importance of her run, saying, “this race again is a top 3 Congressional pickup race and will determine whether or not we keep the majority in the House of Representatives.”
