McCarthy blasts Manhattan DA over expected Trump indictment, calls probe into election interference -
The California Republican called for congress to immediately investigate potential election interference carried out through “politically motivated prosecutions” targeting Mr. Trump.
In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, Mr. Trump called for his supporters to protest what he said is a politically driven indictment over alleged hush money payments in 2016.Mr. Trump would become the first former president in U.S. history to face an indictment if one should occur. A spokesperson for Mr. Trump said the former president has received no formal notification from prosecutors of an impending arrest “other than illegal leaks from the Justice Dept. and the DA’s office, to NBC and other fake news carriers.”
Mr. Cohen, who plead guilty to campaign finance law violations and for lying to Congress, said the payouts were to buy their silence about previous relations with Mr. Trump.Ms. Daniels has met with prosecutors in recent weeks. Two former aides to Mr. Trump - former political adviser Kellyanne Conway and former spokesperson Hope Hicks - have also met with prosecutors.
