Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) echoed Donald Trump’s baseless claims that President Joe Biden “weaponized” the department against him.
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) on Sunday said staff at the Justice Department who worked on the cases the agency brought against President-elect Donald Trump “should be fired immediately.”
In an interview with NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Schmitt said the DOJ has been “weaponized” against Trump during Joe Biden’s time in office, baselessly claiming that both the president and Attorney General Merrick Garland sought to “go after their chief political opponent,” echoing the president-elect frequent talking points.
“After the midterms Joe Biden said that there was no way President Trump would ever be back in the White House,” Schmitt said. “After that speech these zombie cases were resurrected.”
“They all fell apart under the weight of the law. And so I do think there needs to be accountability,” he continued.
NBC’s Kristen Welker then asked Schmitt to clarify whether he wants to see special counsel Jack Smith and Garland prosecuted.
