The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says former US president Donald Trump’s prosecutions are a “clear abuse of process”.
“I don’t care for Trump, I don’t care for Biden, but I’ve written many times these prosecutions of Trump are a clear abuse of process,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“Here is where democracy is failing to live up to proper standards.”
A court has ordered Donald Trump to pay an enormous $355 million fine and barred him from serving in senior roles in New York companies for three years as part of a bombshell ruling in his civil fraud case.
