Former Finance Minister, Samuel D. Tweah Jr., has warned Vice President Jeremiah Koung to desist from attacking him. He said the reported attacks will not help Vice President Koung become president. In a Facebook post on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, Tweah said Stanton showed a picture of him leaving court looking sad, but he called it “doctored” and said it was meant to make him look weak.
He added that many people told the media he would walk free because he “broke no law.” He told Koung directly, “If this is the only way you think you can become president, then you will never be president of Liberia.”
Tweah said he will only go to jail if he really committed a crime. He also apologized to his wife for past disagreements and said his legal case should not be used for politics. Tweah ended by saying he is strong and fearless, and will face the law only if he is guilty.
