Stefanik on Trump indictment: “President Trump has every right under the First Amendment to correctly raise concerns about election integrity in 2020”
WASHINGTON, D.C.- Donald Trump, former President of the United States, had “every right” under the First Amendment to raise concerns about “election integrity” after losing in 2020.
That’s what North Country Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) says in reaction to Trump’s indictment Tuesday, where he faces four felony accusations for attempting to overturn the Presidential Election results against Joe Biden.
“Despite the DOJ’s illegal attempt to interfere in the 2024 election on behalf of Joe Biden, President Trump continues to skyrocket in the polls and will defeat Joe Biden and be sworn in as President of the United States in January 2025," Stefanik declared.

"Today is 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. 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. President Trump had every right under the First Amendment to correctly raise concerns about election integrity in 2020. Despite the DOJ’s illegal attempt to interfere in the 2024 election on behalf of Joe Biden, President Trump continues to skyrocket in the polls and will defeat Joe Biden and be sworn in as President of the United States in January 2025."
The latest indictment against Trump alleges that he repeatedly lied about the election results by claiming he won.
When it comes to what happened leading up to and during the January 6 Capitol insurrection, the indictment states that Trump tried to “exploit” the chaos by pushing to delay official certification of the results, even after the historic landmark had been cleared of protestors and rioters.
Trump is due in Court this Thursday, reports suggest.
