GOP Lawmakers Blast Biden for ‘Weaponization’ of DOJ After Trump Federal Indictment

Republican lawmakers blasted President Biden over the “weaponization” of the federal government after it was revealed Thursday night the Justice Department charged former President Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents.

Trump’s most formidable opponent in the 2024 GOP presidential primary, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, even decried the unprecedented indictment that marks the first time in US history a former president has faced federal charges.

“The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society,” DeSantis wrote on Twitter.

“We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation. Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?” the Florida governor wrote.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said it was a “dark day” for the country and noted that Trump’s being charged over the classified material found in his Mar-a-Lago estate — even though Biden has been under a similar investigation after classified documents were recovered at his Delaware home.
