Trump calls the indictment 'political prosecution,' while Rep. Nancy Pelosi says 'No one is above the law.'
The historic indictment of former President Donald Trump got fingers flying across keyboards on Thursday night, as leading Democrats and Republicans, legal experts and other notables hit social media to respond to a former POTUS facing criminal charges for the first time ever.
Also in the “weaponizing our Justice Department” camp were Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, one of Trump’s potential primary rivals for the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination, who called the indictment “un-American” on Twitter. Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, tweeted that while the indictment of a former president is “unprecedented,” so was Trump’s alleged “unlawful conduct.”
Democratic New York Rep. Dan Goldman, who served as lead counsel in the first impeachment trial of Trump, gave a statement saying that “no person is above the law.” He said that elected officials on both sides should “make unequivocally clear that there is no room for political violence or interference.”
