'I'm not going to let you continue': ABC host stops Trump lawyer from lying about Biden

0

ABC News host George Stephanopoulos grilled Will Scharf, Donald Trump's attorney, during an interview on Sunday.

Throughout the interview, the host repeatedly rejected Scharf's suggestion that President Joe Biden orchestrated Trump's conviction in New York.

"I vehemently disagree that the District Attorney in New York was not politically motivated here, and I vehemently disagree that President Biden and his political allies aren't up to their necks in this prosecution," Scharf told Stephanopoulos.

"There's no evidence of that," the host interrupted. "Sir, there's no- I'm not going to let you continue to say that. There's just zero evidence of that."

"Well, how about the fact that [former Justice Department official] Matthew Colangelo was standing over Alvin Bragg's shoulder when he announced this verdict?" Scharf replied.

"You want to talk about political coordination, George?" he asked.

"This has nothing to do with President Biden," Stephanopoulos insisted. "Do you want to answer the question about the sentencing process or not?"

"I completely disagree that this has nothing to do with President Biden," Scharf insisted again. "I don't think President Trump is going to end up being subject to any sentence whatsoever, and we look forward to getting this case into the next court and taking this again all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary to vindicate President Trump's rights."
