Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Senate leaders and lauded House Republicans Monday as GOP members of the respective chambers are divided over his potential indictment in the Justice Department’s January 6 probe—with Republican senators largely refusing to comment and House Republicans staunchly defending the ex-president....
While Trump did not specify which actions he believes senators have failed to take against Biden, the comments come after Republican senators stayed largely silent regarding Trump’s announcement that he expects to be indicted for a second time by the Justice Department over his conduct surrounding the January 6 Capitol riots.
House Republicans, however, are considering expunging Trump’s first two impeachments in 2019 and 2021, and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been vocal in casting the Justice Department investigations against Trump as politically motivated,“[weaponizing] government [to] go after their No. 1 opponent” in response to Trump’s announcement that he is a “target” in the agency’s January 6 probe.
The House has also intensified its various investigations into the Biden Administration and the president’s family after it won control of the lower chamber and its committees during the midterm election.
