A truly stunning protest move just unfolded in Florida. A hot-shot anti-Trump lawyer, utterly disgusted by the sham conviction against President Trump, decided to fight back in a big and rather unexpected way—by donating half a million bucks to Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Yes, you read that right—half a million dollars. That’s one heck of a YUGE statement, isn’t it? Especially from a Hillary and Biden voter. Talk about a major protest donation from someone who’s seriously fed up…
Hugh Franklin Culverhouse, Jr. — former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida and the son of the former owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — has given former President Donald Trump half a million dollars for his presidential campaign in protest of his felony conviction.
Last week, Trump was convicted on 34 counts in a New York state case of falsifying documents to hide hush-money payments to a porn star in order to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
Culverhouse told the Herald/Times this week that he feels like the case against Trump was politically motivated, as are the six other criminal and civil cases against him, and violate Trump’s constitutional right to testify.
“Anything he says on that witness stand can be used in all of the remaining suits,” Culverhouse, who practices constitutional law, said. “So, you basically have a violation of the Fifth Amendment.”
Culverhouse added: “The bottom line: that’s not kosher. That’s not fair. That’s not constitutional.”
