Rubio: If I Faced The Charges Trump Faced, I Would Have To Plead Guilty Because “It Would Bankrupt Me”

Florida Politics reports:

During a Fox News interview, Florida’s senior Senator argued that he lacks the resources to do what the former President did in New York and fight the 34-count indictment related to so-called hush money payouts to adult entertainer Stormy Daniels.

“Trump has the means and the resources to pay for lawyers and fight this thing. Most people out there, myself included, (do not). If I were charged and facing all of this, it would bankrupt me. I would have to plead guilty to stuff just to get it out of the way, because it would bankrupt me,” Rubio said.

Rubio, who is still being talked up as a potential Trump running mate, has been a constant presence on Fox since the verdict was rendered Thursday afternoon.
