Dr. Phil Breaks His Silence On Trump’s Hush Money Trial: ‘This Case Appears To Have Serious Problems’
Renowned clinical psychologist and TV host Dr. Phil McGraw has weighed in on former president Donald Trump’s high-stakes criminal trial in New York.
“This case appears to have serious problems,” he asserted, after broadcasting a two-part series about the trial on Dr. Phil Primetime, while admitting he lacks all the facts.
“We have twelve people sitting in a box in New York [who] are deciding a case that no twelve people in American history have ever been asked to decide,” McGraw said. “And that is, should a former president of the United States and a current candidate for president of the United States go to jail? I don’t think any American, president or otherwise, should be above the law. Absolutely do not believe that.”
“I don’t know the facts of this case. So, I can’t give you my opinion on whether or not Donald Trump is guilty of violating some New York law or not. I think this case took a long, long time to put together, and it seems to me that there are serious problems with this case,” he added.
“We’re not talking about treason. We’re not talking about murder. We’re not talking about something that everybody agrees that if the actual crime was committed, that absolutely this person should be in jail,” he continued.
McGraw then explained that the case’s debate centers on whether a crime has even occurred, which “muddies the waters a whole lot.”
He proceeded to tell his audience about one aspect of the case to consider: whether actions were taken to influence an election.
McGraw remarked, “At one level, aren’t all candidates supposed to be trying to influence the election?” Then the question is, did they cheat to influence the election? And maybe that’s what it’ll boil down to.”
Trump’s trial focuses on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records connected to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
USA TODAY reports that if found guilty, Trump could face a maximum sentence of four years in prison.
Resist The Mainstream reported last month on McGraw after he ripped the “experts” who shut down schools during COVID.
“You hear people say, ‘Well, we did the best we could with what we knew,’ McGraw said. “No, they did not. They knew better. And if they didn’t know better, they damn well should have known better. That’s what they’re paid to do.”
McGraw then recalled how “all of a sudden, a few weeks turn into months, and months turn into two years.”
“You expect there will be a plan, a readiness plan, that takes into account all the collateral damage that can come from doing something like that,” he continued.
“When you shut down the schools, the day you shut them down, you better have a plan for reopening them. I didn’t see a plan for them to be reopened,” McGraw asserted. “And we have an entire generation that is suffering from developmental gaps, educational gaps, mental and emotional challenges. And still, there’s not a good plan to close those gaps.”
