                             TRUMP VERDICT

  (Mr. TIMMONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIMMONS. Mr. Speaker, the weaponization of our justice system has 
been the hallmark of the Biden administration, and the verdict handed 
down against President Trump in New York last Thursday is further 
evidence that the Democrats will stop at nothing to silence dissent, 
limit speech, and oppress their political opponents.
  The fact of the matter is that these charges would never have been 
brought with such vigor against any other individual. It is no 
coincidence that this trial took place in a district that voted against 
Donald Trump by nearly 90 percent. It is also no coincidence that this 
persecution was perpetrated by a judge active in Democratic fundraising 
and a prosecutor who campaigned on going after President Trump.
  From top to bottom, it is clear that this case was politically 
motivated and was only brought to disparage President Trump, the 
leading candidate for the Republican nomination.
  That is why I call on the Supreme Court to utilize its original 
jurisdiction in this case and finally bring an end to these sham 
proceedings.
