Sen. Ted Cruz slammed the Biden administration weaponizing the DOJ, and called appointing a special counsel to investigate Trump “absolutely disgraceful.”
official Jack Smith to the role of special counsel to investigate the entirety of the criminal probe into the retention of presidential records held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.Cruz, R-Texas, during an interview with Fox News Digital on the sidelines of the Republican Jewish Coalition annual conference in Las Vegas, slammed the appointment and warned of the Biden administration’s plans to"indict" the former president.Cruz told Fox News Digital.
The FBI conducted an unprecedented raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Aug. 8 and seized classified records, including some marked as top secret, according to a warrant and property receipt. "But America — our institutions had been strong enough to prevent that," Cruz said."Historically, the Department of Justice and the FBI have been strong enough to resist it, but under Biden, they now have hard partisans who burrowed into senior career positions who are willing to abuse law enforcement."
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland delivers remarks at the U.S. Justice Department Building on November 18, 2022 in Washington, DC. Garland announced he will appoint a special counsel to oversee the Justice Department’s investigation into former President Donald Trump and his handling of classified documents and actions before the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol Building. Garland's pick to oversee the special counsel is Jack Smith, an international criminal court prosecutor.
Jordan, R-Ohio, just hours before Garland appointed the special counsel to investigate Trump, wrote a letter to Garland and Wray, warning that if officials ignore requests for voluntary compliance, the soon-to-be-led GOP committee"may be forced to resort to compulsory process to obtain the material we require."
