Trump trial was an 'abuse' of the US justice system: Jonathan Turley

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley calls out the "irony" of President Biden's Trump trial comments after a prosecutor wouldn't go after Biden as an "elderly man with a failing memory."

Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley and "The Five" co-host Judge Jeanine Pirro discussed how the Trump trial verdict was "popular justice of Manhattan," but not the kind of justice Americans "look for" Friday on "America Reports."

ANTI-TRUMP ATTORNEY YELLS AT CNN CONTRIBUTOR IN FIERCE ARGUMENT OVER TRUMP CONVICTION: 'YOU'RE LYING!'

JONATHAN TURLEY: Well, there's an irony, of course, because you just had a special counsel [Robert Hur] who said, I'm not indicting the president because he's an elderly man with a failing memory… So there is that irony. Look, we agree on this, the justice system being the touchstone of all Americans. But this was an abuse. And I think that people who are fair-minded would say this was a basically popular justice of Manhattan, but it wasn't the justice we look forward to in our legal system.
