Trump weighs in on Lindsay Clancy murder trial dubbed 'kangaroo court' by GOP leaders

President Donald Trump said Lindsay Clancy will still have to pay "the price" for the deaths of her three small children — Cora 5, Dawson 3, and Callan, 8 months — after a mistrial was declared Friday.

During a press gaggle in the Oval Office , a reporter asked Trump if he'd been following the murder trial of Clancy, a Massachusetts mom whose defense did not deny that she strangled her children with exercise bands in January 2023.

It argued she was not guilty by reason of insanity.

Her attorneys claimed she suffered from postpartum psychosis, a severe but rare psychiatric condition in which a person is disconnected from reality.

LINDSAY CLANCY MISTRIAL DECLARED AFTER JURY DEADLOCKS IN KILLINGS OF HER THREE CHILDREN "It's a horrible tragedy," Trump told reporters.

"It's a horrible tragedy.

I see what's happened, and it looks like it's a hung jury." "I assume there's going to be another trial.

It's a terrible situation.

Look, she did a horrible, horrible thing.

Can't be worse.

But you'll find out what the price to pay is.

There'll be a price.

It's going to be [a] mental institution or jail or something." The six-week trial, which was supposed to determine whether Clancy was to be held criminally responsible, quickly evolved into a flashpoint in the internet culture war over women's postpartum mental health and spurred misinformation and conspiracy theories, including false claims accusing her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, of being responsible for the children’s deaths.

After nearly a week of deliberations, Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial when the jury deadlocked 11 to 1.
