Hedge fund investor and billionaire Bill Ackman is in agreement with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict on Thursday: This was a leftist gotcha.
In a post on X, the CEO of $11 billion hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management wrote: “I think any objective person would have to agree with Gov. Ron DeSantis here.” Trump was found guilty of 34 felony charges of falsifying business records in the first degree. In a statement after the verdict, Trump alleged the trial was rigged, in addition to alleging that New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the case, was biased against him. After the verdict, Trump declared himself “a very innocent man.”
