During a recent live podcast, former President Donald Trump made headlines with his comments about rapper Young Thug's ongoing legal battle. In a conversation with controversial influencer Adin Ross, Trump expressed his belief that Young Thug is being treated unfairly in his Georgia RICO trial.
Ross had brought up Young Thug's case and asked Trump what could be done to ensure the rapper receives a fair trial. The NFR Podcast shared a clip of Trump's response, in which he stated, "He's gotta be treated fairly." This comment is not surprising, considering Trump's own legal troubles in the state of Georgia.
Trump elaborated on his thoughts, saying, "So, I heard about him, and I have heard he is being treated very unfairly by [Fulton County District Attorney] Fani Willis. I would tell her, she's got to treat these patriots that are being all, terrible, all going after him, and I hear Young Thug is being treated...I heard the name. I heard it from other people that he's being treated unfairly. So, he's got to be treated fairly."
Young Thug, along with five others, was indicted in 2022 on charges of racketeering, gang activity, drugs, and guns. The case has been riddled with controversy, including a potential mistrial and the removal of the original judge. Despite this, Young Thug and his co-defendants remain in custody.
It's worth noting that both Trump and Young Thug are being prosecuted by Fani Willis, which may explain Trump's sympathies towards the rapper. Trump even went as far as to mock the pronunciation of Willis' name, stating, "She goes by the name Fani, even though it's F-A-N-I, she wants it pronounced 'faa·nee,' little French, little French accent." However, according to Fox 5, Fani is actually a Swahili name that means "prosperous."
In addition to Young Thug's case, Willis has also indicted Trump for election interference. However, the Supreme Court's June ruling on presidential immunity has complicated the case, and Trump's appeal of the Willis disqualification decision will further delay the trial, which is now set for December 5th.
