Republican officials blasted the Justice Department’s January 6 probe and the fresh indictment of former President Donald Trump, expressing support for Trump in the face of “serial election interference.”
Following Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Tuesday announcement that a grand jury in Washington, DC, had indicted former President Donald Trump on charges relating to the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, Republican members slammed Smith’s “political witch hunt” targeting “every one of his supporters.”
Less than 24 hours ago, Congress heard testimony from Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner that Joe Biden joined Hunter‘s business calls over 20 times. This directly contradicts Biden’s lie that he never discussed business with his son. Today’s sham indictment of Donald Trump is yet another desperate attempt to distract attention away from the mounting evidence of Joe Biden‘s direct involvement in his family’s illegal influence peddling scheme — one of the greatest political corruption scandals in history.
According to Stefanik, Trump “had every right under the First Amendment to correctly raise concerns about election integrity in 2020.”
“Despite the DOJ’s illegal attempt to interfere in the 2024 election on behalf of Joe Biden, President Trump continues to skyrocket in the polls and will defeat Joe Biden and be sworn in as President of the United States in January 2025,” she declared.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) highlighted how people have recently been informed that Hunter Biden “received money from China (contradicting President Biden’s claim),” that Biden “spoke with Hunter’s business associates over 20 times (contradicting what Biden previously claimed),” and that Biden’s DOJ “tried to secretly give Hunter broad immunity and admitted the sweetheart deal was unprecedented.”
Noting that, just the day before, a “new poll showed President Trump is without a doubt Biden’s leading political opponent,” he charged that “Everyone in America could see what was going to come next: DOJ’s attempt to distract from the news and attack the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, President Trump.”
“House Republicans will continue to uncover the truth about Biden Inc. and the two-tiered system of justice,” he added.
We’ve recently learned:
• Hunter received money from China (contradicting President Biden’s claim)
• President Biden spoke with Hunter’s business associates over 20 times (contradicting what Biden previously claimed)
• Biden’s DOJ tried to secretly give Hunter broad immunity…— Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) August 1, 2023
“Let’s be clear about what’s happening: Biden’s DOJ is cutting sweetheart deals for Hunter to cover for the Biden Family’s influence peddling schemes while at the same time trying to persecute his leading political opponent,” wrote House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) as he deemed it “an outrageous abuse of power.”

It’s an outrageous abuse of power.

“It’s no surprise at all that following Devon Archer’s damning testimony yesterday, the DOJ drops more charges against President Trump,” wrote Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA). “Their efforts at distraction can never change the real problem: President Biden is in serious trouble.”
