Both of Florida’s Republican senators decried Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s 34-count felony indictment of former President Donald Trump, which now might face scrutiny from congressional Republicans led by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Tuesday, a few hours after Trump was arraigned at a Manhattan courthouse, McCarthy announced on social media that Bragg’s “weaponizing of the federal justice process will be held accountable by Congress.”
“Alvin Bragg is attempting to interfere in our democratic process by invoking federal law to bring politicized charges against President Trump, admittedly using federal funds, while at the same time arguing that the peoples’ representatives in Congress lack jurisdiction to investigate this farce,” the speaker said.
