<p>One of former President Donald Trump&#8217;s top lawyers explained this week that he believes that Democrats used their criminal cases against Trump to try to keep him off the campaign trail.</p>
<p>Attorney Chris Kise made the remarks during a Fox News interview when asked by host Jesse Watters what he believed was happening.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I think, you know, the Democrats claim that Trump is a threat to democracy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The real threat to democracy is the willingness to abuse the power of your office to influence what should otherwise be a free and fair election. And that’s exactly what’s going on downtown in the courtroom. I mean, look at just this week. You’ve got a hearing in a civil case about essentially nothing. You’ve got a criminal trial starting. And later this week, there’ll be a Supreme Court argument. All in cases that were made up specifically for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kise said that the trials that Trump faced all had a &#8220;similar pattern&#8221; and he wasn&#8217;t even sure if the Democrats even cared that much about winning them.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not even sure that they really care what the outcome was,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We went downtown and had a hearing to determine that $175 million of President Trump&#8217;s cash that he posted, is actually worth $175 million. And a bond form that has been in use for 100 years in the State of New York is actually valid, but we wasted time, money, and resources. And I think that&#8217;s the goal. Let&#8217;s drain the President&#8217;s time. Let&#8217;s drain his focus. Let&#8217;s drain his resources. All while now President Biden is somehow magically out of the basement campaigning. He&#8217;s on the campaign.&#8221;</p>
<p>Speaking on the draining impact that being on in the courtroom has on a person, Kise said: &#8220;It does take a toll. I think that President Trump will withstand that toll, because he&#8217;s an extraordinarily resilient individual. But it&#8217;s demonstrative of exactly what they want. The Democrats have President Trump where they want him: Trump on trial, President Biden on the campaign trail. That&#8217;s what they&#8217;re looking to do. They&#8217;ve realized, you know, there&#8217;s two ways really to influence human behavior. You can inspire it, or you can manipulate it. President Trump inspires people. But I think the Democrats have realized that President Biden isn&#8217;t going to inspire anyone. So now we have to manipulate the outcome. And that&#8217;s exactly what they&#8217;re doing. They&#8217;re using the weapon that they have, the power of these court cases. I mean, in 30 years, I&#8217;ve never seen any one defendant face multiple cases in multiple jurisdictions all at the same time.&#8221;</p>
