During the discussion, Fetterman expressed skepticism about the nature of the case, stating, “I’m on record criticizing Hunter Biden. And I also agree that the [Trump hush-money] trial in New York was politically driven.” He added, “That wouldn’t otherwise have been prosecuted if it was someone else.”
The comment sparked a strong reaction from co-host Sunny Hostin, who sought clarification on whether Fetterman believed the charges against Trump were pursued for political reasons. Fetterman stood by his statement, emphasizing the importance of keeping the judicial system impartial. “I like to think I call it strikes and balls,” he said. “The judicial system has to remain impartial. That’s really the cornerstone of our society.”
Fetterman’s perspective reflects views echoed by other public figures, including former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who earlier suggested that the case might not have been pursued if Trump weren’t a presidential candidate.
As the case continues to be a topic of national discussion, Fetterman’s comments add another layer to the ongoing debate, highlighting concerns about how legal decisions intersect with political dynamics.
