The View host puts sordid twist on OJ Simpson’s infamous line for Trump: ‘If the condom don’t fit, then you must acquit’

A comparison was made between Donald Trump’s hush money trial and the murder trial of OJ Simpson on The View, with a twist on the famous line «If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit”.

Hosts of the morning chat show were debating on Friday whether the former US President will go to jail as a result of one of his four court cases currently underway, with co-host Ana Navarro chiming in.

“I guess this time it’s, if the condom don’t fit, then you must acquit,” she said, in reference to Mr Trump’s hush money trial currently underway, where he is accused of using campaign funds to pay off adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged sexual encounter in 2006.

The line Ms Navarro was spinning came from OJ Simpson’s murder trial in the 1990s, in which his defense team said that if the evidence didn’t fit the prosecution’s case then the jury “must acquit”.

The late football player was acquitted over the murders of his former wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in what was seen as a controversial and landmark trial.

In Mr Trump’s case, he faces more than 80 counts across his four indictments, with the historic first trial of a former American president now underway in New York.

A Manhattan courtroom has heard testimony from Ms Daniels this week on her alleged encounter with the former president nearly twenty years ago, including that they did not use a condom.

She was allegedly paid $130,000 to keep quiet about her story as the business mogul ran for office in 2016, which prosecutors say violated election campaign rules.

Ms Daniels has laid out, in graphic detail, what she said happened with Mr Trump in a hotel room, but his attorneys have picked holes in her story, which they argue has changed over time.
