<p>North Dakota Republican Governor Doug Burgum defended former President Donald Trump on Sunday against the criminal charges he faces from the Manhattan District Attorney&#8217;s Office.</p>
<p>Burgum made the remarks during an interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; with host Jake Tapper.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a business guy. This is a business filing case,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If it was anybody other than a presidential candidate, this would be a misdemeanor. How it got turned into 34 felonies, when there isn&#8217;t even the alleged crime, which is &#8212; they haven&#8217;t even convinced anybody there was a crime.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But if it were, it would be a Federal Election Commission crime. And that would be pursued by the federal courts, not by a county DA in New York,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And so I think, again, Americans, the outcome of this trial doesn&#8217;t affect them.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that the trial was nothing more than &#8220;a spectacle for cable TV, but average Americans have already baked in what they think about President Trump, President Biden, they&#8217;re looking at the policies, not at the people, and they were better off under President Trump&#8217;s policies.&#8221;</p>
<p>Burgum said he was looking forward to next January when &#8220;Vice President Harris certifies the election for Donald Trump.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I mean, the American people are the ones that get to decide these elections,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But for both parties and for all Americans, we have got to make sure that every county, every precinct is beyond reproach, that everybody can be confident in our country.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In North Dakota, we&#8217;re doing that,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Nobody&#8217;s questioning the results of an election in any county or precinct in North Dakota. It can be done. It&#8217;s done all over the nation, except, in some cases, we have got &#8212; we could have a handful of counties that this election could turn on again, and we have just got to make sure that, when it&#8217;s done, both sides feel good about how it was counted.&#8221;</p>
