Byron Donalds clashes with NBC host over Trump charges: 'Two-tiered justice...plain to see'

Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., sparred with NBC's Peter Alexander on Sunday's "Meet the Press" after the host questioned Donalds' claims of a "two-tiered justice system" under President Biden.

The Florida congressman — who is reportedly on former President Trump's shortlist for his 2024 running mate — argued that the Supreme Court should step in and overturn Trump's felony convictions in a Manhattan court last month. He argued the judge had violated Trump's constitutional rights by not identifying the crime in the original indictment.

"You’re not allowed to do that. Every judge knows this. This is why everybody believes this is going to be overturned on appeal. Because it was meant to interfere with the presidential selection. That's the problem," Donalds argued.

However, Alexander staunchly defended Biden's Justice Department and argued that the prosecution of Hunter Biden proved there was "equal justice."

"Congressman, to be clear, this was obviously a state case. He was indicted by a grand jury of New Yorkers. It was a jury of his peers in New York that found him guilty," Alexander remarked.

"To be clear, Joe Biden, there is no evidence that he had anything to do with this case. The Manhattan D.A. as you know, began this investigation in 2018 before Joe Biden was even his party’s nominee," he added.

The journalist suggested Republicans accusing Biden of "weaponizing" the judicial system against Trump were being hypocritical because of recent comments made by the former president about seeking retribution.

"Why is it appropriate for Donald Trump, then, to call for prosecuting his political opponents, including President Biden?"
