GOP lawmakers slam potential Trump indictment: ‘Third World Banana Republic lunacy’
Fox News
Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate blasted reports that former President Donald Trump could soon be indicted -- claiming it would be politically motivated.
According to a court source, the meeting was requested Thursday and is to "discuss logistics for some time next week, which would mean that they are anticipating an indictment next week." Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
The potential indictment stems from the lengthy investigation surrounding Trump's alleged payment of "hush money" to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Toward the end of the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump's then-lawyer Michael Cohen sent $130,000 to Daniels to prevent her from disclosing a 2006 affair with Trump. Trump, who denies the affair, reimbursed Cohen through installments. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
