The top two Democrats in Congress released a joint statement condemning former President Donald Trump following him being indicted again, this time by a Fulton County Grand Jury in Georgia in connection to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), said in their joint statement that this indictment “portrays a repeated pattern of criminal activity by the former president.”

Trump is charged with 13 criminal counts, including violating the state’s Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
“This latest indictment details how Mr. Trump led a months-long plot pushing the Big Lie to steal an election, undermine our democracy, and overturn the will of the people of Georgia,” the statement reads. “The actions taken by the Fulton County District Attorney, along with other state and federal prosecutors, reaffirms the shared belief that in America no one, not even the president, is above the law.”
The two urged Trump’s allies and supporters to let the legal process play out “without outside interference.”

In a statement, the Congressional Integrity Project, a Democratov group tasked with pushing back on House Republicans’ investigations into the Biden family, said the investigations are nothing more than an attempt by Republicans to distract America from Trump’s legal woes.
“Kevin McCarthy, James Comer, Jim Jordan, and MAGA House Republicans will cover up, lie, and undermine the rule of law to protect Donald Trump, as sure as the sun rises in the morning,” Congressional Integrity Project executive director, Kyle Herrig, said in a statement. “MAGA Republicans are disregarding every priority the American people care about – the rule of law, the peaceful transfer of power, affordable health care, the cost of living, and job creation – to do Donald Trump’s bidding.”
