As testimony ended in Donald Trump’s hush money trial on Tuesday, a trio of Texas Republicans – Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, along with U.S. Reps. Troy Nehls and Ronny Jackson – were there outside the New York courthouse, ready to step into the role of champions for the former president.
“They want Donald Trump to disappear,” Patrick told reporters outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse late Tuesday after the defense rested its case without their client’s testimony. “They want to send him to jail. They want to take him off the main stage because they know he’s their biggest danger to taking the ruling class down.”
