Quigley Statement on Trump Conviction

Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement on the conviction of former President Donald Trump on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records:

"I have always said, no one is above the law, not even a former president.

"Today, the justice system finally caught up with Donald Trump.

"Let us remember that Donald Trump is also under indictment for several other crimes, including some that were much more damaging to our national security and our democracy. He must be held accountable for every one of his misdeeds.

"For the sake of the nation, Republicans must abandon Donald Trump as the head of their party once and for all and help prevent a historic criminal from retaking the most powerful post in the world."
