Sen. Lisa Murkowski has addressed the indictment of former President Donald Trump, stating the 37 charges the former president faces are"quite serious and cannot be casually dismissed."
Murkowski added that anyone who is found guilty in court, be it a former president or another elected or appointed official,"should face the same set of consequences." As I’ve stated before, no one is above the law but every American is innocent until proven guilty. Still, the charges in this case are quite serious and cannot be casually dismissed."These allegations are serious and if proven, would be consistent with his other actions offensive to the national interest, such as withholding defensive weapons from Ukraine for political reasons and failing to defend the Capitol from violent attack and insurrection," Romney's statement read.
