Apply The Law Equally

To the editor:

In Fayette County, Texas, and America, we value our freedoms - including our freedom to elect leaders who govern in our name.

But on the eve of the 2016 election, Trump covered up his sexual affair with Stormy Daniels to keep voters in the dark so he would not lose the election. The former MAGA President now faces trial in New York for the alleged criminal cover-up that set the pattern for his presidency: Trump lies to voters and meddles in elections to seize and hold onto power. As with their other attempts at overturning the will of the people, Trump and MAGA must be held accountable. They will keep chipping away at our Fayette County and Texas freedoms until they face the full consequences for their crimes.

Trump was indicted by a jury of everyday Americans, who weighed the evidence and determined he must stand trial before a jury of everyday Americans to ensure we apply the law equally to all.
