Stefanik reacts to Trump indictment announcement

Former United States President Donald Trump has officially been indicted regarding alleged hush money paid to an adult film star actress during the 2016 campaign.

According to the Associated Press, prosecutors are working to coordinate Trump’s surrender. It’s not clear, for now, if prosecutors will seek prison time if a conviction unfolds.

This is the first indictment against a former U.S. President and North Country Congresswoman and Trump ally Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21) has reacted to this development.

"The unprecedented election interference from corrupt Socialist District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a political witch-hunt and a dark day for America," she said.

"The radical Far Left will stop at nothing to persecute Joe Biden’s chief political opponent ahead of the 2024 presidential election to suppress the will and voice of the American people. Tens of millions of patriotic Americans have never been so energized to exercise their constitutional rights to peacefully organize and VOTE at the ballot box to save our great republic by electing President Donald J. Trump in 2024."

Nearly two-weeks ago, the former president declared he would be arrested; but said so well before the Manhattan grand jury finished convening.

The exact nature of the charges against Trump are still not clear because the indictment remained sealed as of this report.
