Political reaction to Donald Trump’s historic indictment

The political world is reacting to former President Donald Trump’s indictment by a Manhattan grand jury. The reactions range from outrage to vindication. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy denounced the Manhattan DA, claiming Alvin Bragg has “weaponized our sacred system of justice.” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Trump “is subject to the same laws as every American.” Meanwhile, Trump himself said he was “completely innocent” and called the indictment “political persecution.”
