The Islanders supported a legal defense fund for a convicted NYPD sergeant, prompting mixed reactions from the community.
U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, the top prosecutor in President Donald Trumps impeachment trial in 2019 and who has long been a prime target of the president, recently started a legal defense fund amid talks of an investigation by the Department of Justice into his finances. It's clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable, Marisol Samayoa, a spokesperson for the California Democrat, said in a statement.
