On Tuesday, Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas reported to digital news outlet Newsmax, that he attended Trump’s business fraud trial in Manhattan as a sign of mutual support to the former president, who currently is against all odds during his trial. In a recent interview with Newsmax talkshow Rob Schmitt Tonight, Attorney General Paxton explained that he completely understands Trump’s situation, something he says Trump and him have classified as a “weaponized justice system”.

Paxton’s presence during the trial was to show that Trump was not alone during his case. The Texas AG concluded his comments by acknowledging that the weaponization of the current justice system could have grave effects on America in the future, putting into perspective that the country would not be much different than communist countries like Venezuela or China.
