‘Cheaters don’t like getting caught’: VP Harris talks about Trump’s Jimmy Kimmel conviction

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris spent a part of Tuesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” recalling how she learned about former President Donald Trump’s conviction of 34 felonies in his hush money criminal trial.

She ignored Kimmel’s offhand query about whether the people she watched the decision with “pretended not to be happy” when the decision was announced. Instead, she talked about six weeks of deliberations and a 12-person jury, before adding that “the reality is that fraudsters don’t like to be caught.”

Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee, was convicted on all counts as a part of his 2016 presidential campaign’s scheme to repay porn actress Stormy Daniels, who claimed that they had sex. The former president sharply criticized the decision as politically motivated and blamed it on Biden, while also attempting to make himself a political martyr within the eyes of his supporters, suggesting that if it happened to him, similar things would occur to them.

Harris’ comments got here a day after President Joe Biden tore into his predecessor and certain opponent within the November election for sowing doubt within the lawsuit,

“It’s reckless, dangerous and downright irresponsible for anyone to claim it’s rigged just because you don’t like the verdict,” Biden said Monday night at a fundraiser in Greenwich, Connecticut.
