In a recent segment on his show, CNN host Fareed Zakaria openly suggested that the felony charges against former President Donald Trump in New York, related to falsifying business records, appear to be politically motivated.
Zakaria stated, “I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump,” highlighting the potential bias surrounding the high-profile case.
