(Reuters) – Here are the reactions after former President Donald Trump said he was being indicted by the US Department of Justice, apparently for mishandling sensitive government documents.
US HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY:
“Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America.”
“House Republicans will hold this senseless power grab accountable.”
DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN AND GOLDMAN:
“This country was founded on the principle that we are a government of laws, not men, and no man, not even a former President, is above the law.”
“We are blessed with a legal system designed to protect the robust rights of all defendants, and like any other criminal defendant, Donald Trump has longstanding constitutional rights to a jury trial, to face his accusers, and to legal counsel.”
TESLA CEO ELON MUSK: “There seems to be a higher interest in going after Trump than other political figures. It is very important that the justice system rebut what appears to be differential enforcement or they will lose public trust.”
ASA HUTCHINSON, CANDIDATE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION:
“Donald Trump’s actions — from his willful disregard for the Constitution to his disregard for the rule of law — should not define our country or the Republican Party. This is a sad day for our country .”
VIVEK RAMASWAMY, CANDIDATE FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION:
“It would have been easier for me to win this election without Trump in the race, but I stand by my political principles. I promise to pardon Trump immediately on January 20, 2025, and restore the rule of law to our country.”
