A jury convicted Donald Trump on all counts in his hush money trial, finding him guilty of all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
The charges are punishable by up to four years in prison, but it's unclear whether prosecutors would seek imprisonment or if the judge would impose that punishment.
Oklahoma leaders issued statements after the jury in New York released its decision to convict Trump. Read below to see how Oklahoma leaders reacted to Trump's conviction.
Gov. Kevin Stitt
"This is a weaponization of our justice system, plain and simple. Regardless of which party is in power, a move like this disrespects the office of the President. This decision has created chaos and will lead to a lack of trust in our government. I’m glad Trump will appeal and I hope another judge will bring some sense to this matter."
Sen. Markwayne Mullin
"This is a very dark day in American history. The far-Left has unleashed a disgraceful, unprecedented assault on the leading Republican candidate for president. President Trump will fight this sham of a conviction, and the American people will have the ultimate word this November."
Rep. Frank Lucas
"No one can be surprised by the political decision from the court in New York today. Thank goodness President Trump is a fighter. He will not let this stop his efforts to save America."
Rep. Kevin Hern
"This is a dark day in our Nation’s history. Democrats would rather lock up their political opponent than win at the ballot box. This is the United States of America, not some banana republic."
Rep. Josh Brecheen
"Most Americans understand that this trial was a political witch hunt and would have never been brought forth if Donald Trump was not running for President. Today is a dark day for our country and is an embarrassment to our judicial system. This is clear election interference by Democrats in liberal New York City. Americans will not forget this."
State Superintendent Ryan Walters
"The left has an ongoing assault on @realDonaldTrump. They will stop at nothing to silence his voice and to keep him from winning. Republicans MUST rally around him and stop this madness."
