The Silence of Leading Senate Republicans on Trump Indictment Is Deafening
2023-06-12
[PJ] The House Republican leadership has given a full-throated defense of Donald Trump following his 37-count indictment for violations of the Espionage Act, Speaker of the House Rep. Kevin McCarthy said.

"Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America," House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) tweeted. "It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades. I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump."

The number two Republican, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), also gave a strong defense of Trump. "Let’s be clear about what’s happening: Joe Biden is weaponizing his Department of Justice against his own political rival. This sham indictment is the continuation of the endless political persecution of Donald Trump."

While the GOP House rushed to Trump’s side to defend him, there was only a deafening silence from the Senate Republican leadership.
