On reading the article “Tabloid publisher says that he was Trump’s ‘eyes and ears’” [Gazette, April 24], I was encouraged that Donald Trump will be getting the punishment that he deserves. Trump has shown great cleverness in protecting himself from the consequences of his actions through lies and denial, getting away with all kinds of deceptive behavior. This trial can show that no one is above the law.

Trump may not be able to avoid punishment for hush money to help win an election, and he now possibly faces a prison sentence. We will soon see if in this case truth is more powerful than made-up stories.
