Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) told Fox News Thursday following the announcement of the charges against Trump in the ongoing classified documents probe. “It is really a subversion of the rule of law. I mean, they’re taking the rule of law, turning it on its head, and we cannot allow this to stand.” Hawley said the Department of Justice has begun “charging random people” after Carlos De Oliveira, the property manager for Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, was added to the indictment — hinting that the new charges were meant to take attention off the first son. “Is it any coincidence that the DOJ rushes to add these new indictments today, after the Hunter debacle, after their own self-dealing and two- timing is exposed, after they tried to us the true extent of this plea deal,” Hawley proclaimed. Hunter Biden, 53, and his team of lawyers were blindsided by Judge Maryellen Noreika on Wednesday when she refused to sign off on a plea deal that would land the first son on two years of probation for gun charges rather than facing possible jail time. “The American people are not gonna be safe,” Hawley conveyed to the outlet. “Our system of government is not gonna be safe if this is gonna be the new standard.” Sen.

AP The president’s son pleaded not guilty to federal tax and gun charges following the bombshell ruling by the judge, opening the door for the possibility of additional charges in the future — such as for allegedly working as an unregistered foreign agent. Hunter Biden admitted during the hearing he had received hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Chinese Communist Party-backed company — contradicting President Biden’s claims that his family never “made money from China.” United States Representative Elise Stefanik (Republican of New York) meets constituents in her office in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, DC on July 18, 2023.

Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called the charges brought forth by the Democrats “a disgrace” during an interview with Newsmax on Thursday. “I think Merrick Garland should be impeached and removed from office for allowing the Department of Justice to be turned into a partisan hammer to attack the political enemies of the White House,” Cruz said of the attorney general. Prosecutors working for special counsel Jack Smith, appointed by Garland, accused Trump of attempting to delete surveillance footage at his Palm Beach club — naming de Oliveira, 56, as a co-conspirator — according to the 60-page filing submitted Thursday.
