New York Republicans slam Trump indictment as ‘witch hunt’

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on seven counts related to the mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home. The charges include willfully retaining national defense documents, conspiring to obstruct justice, and withholding the documents, all under the Espionage Act. If convicted on all counts, the former president faces 75 years in prison. While Democrats lauded the move as belated justice, New York state Republicans slammed it as another Democratic “witch hunt” intended to sway the 2024 election. “The American people are smart and see right through [Democrats’] political power grabs, just like their two sham impeachments, failed attempts to pack our Supreme Court, radically change our election laws, end the Senate filibuster, and grant non-citizens the right to vote,” said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11).

‘Witch hunt’ indictment of Trump denounced by Republicans in New York

New York state Republicans are hitting back after former President Donald Trump was indicted on seven counts related to the mishandling of classified documents at his Florida property, Mar-a-Lago. Republicans have called the move another Democratic “witch hunt” designed to sway the 2024 election, while Democrats viewed the indictment as belated justice. “The Biden Department of Justice’s decision to selectively target a former President and the likely opposition candidate in 2024 is the latest example of Democrats weaponizing our justice system and attempting to influence an election,” said Nicole Malliotakis, Republican Representative for New York’s 11th Congressional District. Meanwhile, Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat who defeated Trump-endorsed Republican rival Lee Zeldin last November, supported the indictment.
