Michael Wear, a former advisor to former President Barack Obama, shared McKissic’s perspective on the verdict. In a thread published on X Thursday, Wear commented that “Not much surprises me anymore here, but the fact that the nature of the crime does not provoke a minute of hesitation to those defending Trump today is one of those things.”

“Isn’t the conviction of someone who made a hush money payment to cover up an adulterous affair about as straightforward of a tale of moral comeuppance as one could tell?” he asked.
