FIRST ON FOX: Republicans on Tuesday called the latest indictment of former President Trump an “outrageous abuse of power” and dismissed it as an attempt by the Biden administration to distract from testimony from earlier in the week about President Biden’s son Hunter.
House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik of New York told Fox News Digital Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment against Trump marks “yet another dark day in America as Joe Biden continues to weaponize his corrupt Department of Justice against his leading political opponent Donald J. Trump.”
“Less than 24 hours ago, Congress heard testimony from Hunter Biden’s longtime business partner that Joe Biden joined Hunter’s business calls over 20 times,” Stefanik said. “This directly contradicts Biden’s lie that he never discussed business with his son.
“Today’s sham indictment of Donald Trump is yet another desperate attempt to distract attention away from the mounting evidence of Joe Biden’s direct involvement in his family’s illegal influence peddling scheme, one of the greatest political corruption scandals in history.
