House Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) slammed the third indictment of former President Donald Trump as a distraction from the Biden family’s “illegal influence peddling scheme … one of the greatest political corruption scandals in history.”
Special Counsel Jack Smith announced a grand jury in Washington, D.C., indicted Trump on charges relating to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. Smith announced the indictment one day after Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s best friend in business, told Congress that Hunter Biden included then-Vice President Joe Biden on speakerphone more than 20 times with business associates to sell “the brand.”
Stefanik said in a statement:
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.
