GOP Rushes To Trump's Defense After He Is Indicted For A Second Time

Top Republican lawmakers and even some presidential candidates rushed to the defense of former President Donald Trump after he was indicted by the Department of Justice over his mishandling of classified documents pertaining to the nation’s top national security secrets.
The indictment is still under seal, but Trump announced the news on his social media website Truth Social, proclaiming himself innocent and divulging that he is to report to a federal courthouse in Miami next week. News reports said there are multiple counts against him, ranging from willful retention of national defense information to conspiracy.

The Department of Justice has yet to unveil the charges and lay out the evidence against Trump, but that didn’t stop Trump’s top allies on Capitol Hill from claiming, without evidence, that President Joe Biden had ordered the independent special counsel overseeing the matter to bring charges against the former president, who is also seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 2024.


“Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) tweeted. “It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades. I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump.”

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, the number two House Republican, added: “Let’s be clear about what’s happening: Joe Biden is weaponizing his Department of Justice against his own political rival. This sham indictment is the continuation of the endless political persecution of Donald Trump.”
