Republicans react with fury to ‘brazen’ timing of bombshell new Trump indictment and claim charges were filed to distract from Biden family scandals after First Son’s sweetheart deal collapsed

  • Republican lawmakers claimed the federal government is releasing new charges against Trump to distract from Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes
  • Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team of prosecutors unveiled additional charges against Trump Thursday night over classified documents scandal
  • It came after the Department of Justice’s deal with Hunter Biden collapsed, leaving the First Son susceptible to further criminal charges 

Republicans reacted with fury to the ‘coincidental’ timing of a bombshell new indictment against former President Donald Trump.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team of prosecutors added additional charges in to the 32-count indictment the former president was already facing for keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate Thursday evening.

Among the new charges are allegations that the former president allegedly told aides to ‘wipe’ security footage from his Florida club’s server as a way to foil investigators probing the removal of classified documents from the White House. 

These allegations came just one day after the Department of Justice’s ‘sweetheart’ deal with Hunter Biden sensationally collapsed, leaving the First Son susceptible to further criminal charges for alleged deals with China and Ukraine.

Now, Republican lawmakers claim the federal government has only released the new charges to distract from alleged wrongdoings perpetrated by the president’s family. 

Only hours after the indictment was unsealed, Fox News reported that members of ‘the Biden family may hold offshore bank accounts’. 

‘The DOJ’s decision to pursue additional charges against President Trump is further evidence of the politicization of our nation’s top prosecutorial agency,’ Sen. Marsha Blackburn, a Republican from Tennessee, tweeted Thursday night. 

‘Amid AG [Merrick] Garland’s dismissal of wrongdoing by Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton, Tennesseans are tired of two tiers of justice.’

In an interview with FOX News, Sen. Josh Hawley also said it was no coincidence that the charges were announced after Hunter Biden’s deal fell through.

‘Is it any coincidence that the DOJ rushes to add these new indictments today after the Hunter debacle, after their own self-dealing and two-timing is exposed, after they tried to hide from us the true extent of this plea deal that gets blown up and then it’s like, “Oh we got to go indict Trump on something else,’ the Republican from Missouri said.
