Congresswoman
Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia blasted the "SHAM trial" on X.
"You don't see this level of corruption in a banana republic", she wrote, directing people to a Trump fundraiser.
Another Trump ally,
Matt Gaetz, agreed, writing on X: "This verdict is the corrupt result if a corrupt trial, a corrupt judge, and a corrupt DA. We stand with President Trump now more than ever."
And the former president also received support from the highest-ranking Republican in the US government,
House Speaker Mike Johnson.
"Today is a shameful day in American history," he wrote. "President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict - and he WILL WIN."

They're right, this is "absurd" and "shameful".
Imagine choosing Trump as your nominee
