US EditionNebraska Republican Blasts ‘Foolish’ Trump over Indictment Calls
Rep. Don Bacon says Trump’s public demands for indicting political foes undermine justice and could weaken the prosecution’s case, with one target already indicted by a grand jury.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump publicly urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to pursue charges against political opponents, writing, `We can't delay any longer, it's killing our reputation and credibility.`
- The change in prosecutorial leadership preceded the grand jury action, as Lindsey Halligan, Acting U.S. Attorney, took over after Erik Siebert, U.S. Attorney resigned, pursuing the case alone.
- Rep. Don Bacon sharply criticized President Donald Trump's public demands on Friday, warning `he's hurting his own case` and adding, `It undermines the perception of fair justice`.
- The grand jury indictment formally begins criminal proceedings against Letitia James, who faces up to 30 years and a $1 million fine per count, and James and her attorney deny wrongdoing, calling the probe retaliatory.
- Recent public criticism from Republicans like Rep. Don Bacon highlights partisan stakes, while Dave Aronberg, former Palm Beach County State Attorney, said personnel changes strengthen vindictive-prosecution arguments.
