U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman is pulling no punches in sticking up for former President Donald Trump, who endorsed and campaigned for her last year in a landslide win over former congresswoman Liz Cheney.
Now that Trump is the subject of multiple investigations and says he’s on the brink of being indicted, Hageman says the efforts of a New York City district attorney investigating him are nothing more than a witch hunt.
“What we are witnessing in NYC and across the country is a two-tiered justice system, the kind often only seen in third world countries at the behest of dictators and despots,” the Wyoming Republican said in a Monday afternoon press release.
Over the weekend, Trump said on social media he expected to be arrested Tuesday in connection with his role in a $130,000 payoff in alleged hush money to former porn star Stormy Daniels and called on his supporters to protest in response, writing: “Protest, take our nation back.”
A grand jury in New York City has been meeting to investigate Trump’s role in a scheme to pay money during the lead up to his 2016 presidential campaign to Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair the two had. Trump’s ex-attorney Michael Cohen has admitted to paying $130,000 to Daniels.
