Stefanik, Tenney release statements reacting to former President Trump’s claim that he will soon be arrested
WASHIGNTON, D.C.- Former U.S. President Donald Trump says he will be arrested this coming Tuesday.
House Republican Conference Chair and North Country Congresswoman Elise Stefanik has responded by expressing her frustration, saying Trump’s possible looming arrest is “un-American.”
"This is unAmerican and the radical Left has reached a dangerous new low of Third World countries," she said.
"Knowing they cannot beat President Trump at the ballot box, the Radial Left will now follow the lead of Socialist dictators and reportedly arrest President Trump, the leading Republican candidate for President of the United States. This is just a continuation of the disgraceful and unconstitutional pattern going back to the illegal Russian collusion hoax to attempt to silence and suppress the will of the voters who support President Trump and the America First Movement. What these corrupt Leftist prosecutors like Alvin Bragg and their Socialist allies fail to understand is that America First Patriots have never been so energized to exercise their constitutional rights to peacefully organize and VOTE at the ballot box to save our great republic."
The former President announced on his social media platform Saturday that he will be arrested Tuesday over alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress, which were made ahead of the 2016 election.
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney had words to reflect Stefanik as well.
“When Alvin Bragg took office in 2021, he instructed attorneys in the District Attorney’s office not to prosecute criminals who resist arrest and worse, instructed them to downgrade charges of armed robbery and other violent crimes,” said Congresswoman Tenney.

“Now, Bragg, in an effort to bolster his dubious tenure, is shamelessly attempting to execute on a politically charged arrest warrant against a former President of the United States over what is arguably a civil matter that has been litigated repeatedly in the courts and the media. This is the latest example of the two-tiered justice system in America that is being weaponized by power hungry Democrats. This abuse of power is a disgrace to our state and our country. President Trump was sued for defamation in civil court on this matter and a judge ordered Stormy Daniels to pay $300,000 to President Trump for his legal fees.”
“Bragg’s abuse of power here proves once again that he is dangerously incompetent and has violated the public trust and his oath of office. It’s time for Governor Hochul to remove this crook from office.”
