Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) blasted Democrats, saying Trump’s indictment is about power.
Tonight’s indictment of Donald Trump isn’t about the law. It’s about power. Raw power. It’s the Democrat Party telling the nation they will stop at nothing to control the outcome of the next presidential election. It is an assault on our democracy, pure and simple

It’s unfathomable to me that this could happen in America. This is political persecution that must not stand!
