House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) pertained to Trump’s defense over reports that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has actually been weighing prospective charges against the previous president for his supposed conduct during the January 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the U.S. Home Speaker said he does not see any reason for the previous president to be discovered criminally responsible for January 6.
“I do not see how he could be discovered criminally accountable,” McCarthy said. “What criminal activity did he do? He told people to be peaceful.”
This past Sunday, the previous president revealed on Fact Social that he would need to appear prior to a grand jury today and that he would likely be prosecuted by “deranged” unique counsel Jack Smith.
“Absolutely nothing like this has ever occurred in our Nation prior to, or even close … THIS WITCH HUNT IS ALL ABOUT ELECTION DISTURBANCE AND A COMPLETE AND OVERALL POLITICAL WEAPONIZATION OF POLICE! It is a really sad and dark duration for our Country!” he said.
McCarthy stated that he and the previous president spoke on Tuesday which Trump was annoyed with being targeted by the justice department. He also rejected ever performing a “strategy session” with Republican politicians on how to react to Trump’s indictments.
“I think the technique sessions happen in the Democrats’ Department of Justice, where they go after anyone who’s running versus the president,” McCarthy stated. “It seems as however– and if you go up in the polls you’re most likely to get indicted.”
McCarthy’s equivalent in the U.S. Senate, minority leader Mitch McConnell, declined to commenton the matter.
“I’ve stated each week out here that I’m not going to comment on the various prospects for the presidency,” McConnell told press reporters. “How I felt about that I revealed at the time, but I’m not going to start getting into sort of critiquing the various candidates for president.”
As Breitbart News reported, various leaders in the GOP have actually come to the previous president’s defense.
“President Trump just increased his lead in the surveys. So what does the Biden Administration do next? Weaponize federal government to go after President Biden’s number one challenger. This is not equivalent justice. It’s incorrect, and the American public is tired of it,” stated McCarthy.
