Few politicians and politicos ventured out on social media after former President Trump announced he had been indicted on federal charges. The former president has been charged with at least seven counts involving obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and illegal retention of classified government material.
Mr. Trump has been ordered to appear in federal court in Miami on Tuesday.
“President Trump is indicted on the day we unveiled significant findings related to Joe Biden’s corruption. Makes you wonder,” tweeted Congressman Andy Biggs.

“A two-tiered justice system that’s been weaponized by a single party and cheered on by the media is an unprecedented danger to our country. This election interference is un-democratic and anti-American. This is simply about power. Travesty of the rule of law,” tweeted Abe Hamadeh, Republican nominee for Arizona Attorney General.
