On Saturday, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) made a post on Twitter alleging that the Department of Justice under the Biden administration is working with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to prosecute former President Donald Trump.
Greene has called for a Congressional investigation into the matter after Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he anticipates being arrested on Tuesday in connection with the grand jury investigation in New York City regarding the alleged payoff scandal involving Stormy Daniels.
It is worth noting that Bragg's campaign for the position of District Attorney in 2021 received funding from George Soros, according to Heavy.com.
“We must bring in the Biden DOJ officials who have been coordinating with the Manhattan DA to testify. And subpoena all of it. We must end the weaponization of government power for politics,” Greene stated.
Rep. Greene wrote on Twitter:
Biden’s DOJ is coordinating with the Democrat Manhattan DA to arrest Donald Trump, the top Republican Presidential candidate for 2024, and charge him with a fake outdated misdemeanor charge. It’s ALL FOR POLITICS! This is what they do in communists countries to destroy their political opponents! Republicans in Congress MUST subpoena these communists and END this! We have the power to do it and we also have the power to DEFUND their salaries and departments! Enough of this! The American people deserve a government that actually works for them NOT a bunch of self centered communists who bail out their donors, protect the elites, and weld their power to punish their political enemies!
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) criticized the “absurd abuse” in Trump's prosecution:
Virtually every campaign finance violation involves either 1) spending other people’s money illegally or 2) taking money into your campaign that you shouldn’t. Trump did neither. He used his own money to resolve a private dispute, irrespective of any campaign. The impending indictment is based on an untested, tortured legal theory. This is an absurd abuse of the criminal process in our politics. It must be seen for the partisan pathetic ploy it is. #TRUMP2024
