Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is raising questions in regard to the timing of the two indictments against former President Donald Trump after his indictment last week.
Mace specifically pointed to how the indictments were announced when the House Oversight Committee had gotten new information regarding alleged corrupt actions by President Joe Biden‘s family. Her comments came while speaking on Fox News Channel’s Sunday Morning Futures.

“No[one] has made the connection yet, but when we got access to the suspicious activity reports, the day we got access to the SARs reports, Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in New York. The day that we got access to this 1023 form showing bribery between Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Ukraine, they indict Donald Trump again,” Mace said.
“Every time the oversight committee has evidence of corruption, bribery, money laundering on the Biden family, they indict Donald Trump,” she continued.
The 1023 form Mace discussed allegedly shows that an executive at Ukrainian energy giant Burisma paid “multiple” members of the Biden family $5 million each, and those payments were routed through multiple bank accounts to get to Joe Biden, per members of the House who viewed the document. Hours after the GOP began to detail what they had seen in the document, Trump announced he had been indicted by a federal grand jury.
The South Carolina congresswoman then discussed how she believes the indictment is “weaponizing the executive branch to take out your political enemies.”

The frequent Trump critic defended the former president by claiming that he is being held to a higher standard than other officials who had allegedly mishandled classified materials, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Trump was charged with 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, one count of withholding a document or record, one count of corruptly concealing a document or record, one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation, one count for a scheme to conceal, and one count related to alleged false statements.
