Original Note:
The Trump trial was not brought on by the Democratic Party or Biden. While the Manhattan DA was a Democrat, a grand jury had to first indict him (which they did) and all 12 New Yorkers, many of whom voted for him in prior elections, voted to convict him for those 34 crimes. https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2024/trump-says-business-records-case-about-hush-money-is-a-biden-trial-its-a-manhattan-trial/ https://www.factcheck.org/2024/05/trumps-repeated-claims-on-his-new-york-hush-money-trial/
