00:00 I ask unanimous consent the quorum be dispensed with.
00:03 Without objection.
00:04 So Madam President, last Thursday, a jury found former President Donald Trump
00:10 guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records as part of a hush money scheme.
00:16 Former President Donald Trump is now a convicted felon.
00:22 The most important takeaway from this case is that nobody is above the law, including Donald Trump.
00:28 The former president went through the same legal process that all Americans go through.
00:33 He was tried according to the facts in the law and was found guilty.
00:37 Guilty by a jury of his peers.
00:40 As Donald Trump considers his next steps, there should continue to be no outside political influence,
00:47 intimidation, or interference in the case.
00:52 I encourage Mr. Trump's supporters and critics alike to let the process move forward according to law.
