McCarthy directs committees to probe whether federal funds were used in potential Trump indictment
Fox News
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Saturday said he wants House committees to investigate whether federal funds are being used for “politically motivated prosecutions.'
McCarthy was reacting to reports that the Manhattan District Attorney's office is preparing to issue an indictment for alleged hush money payments Trump made as a presidential candidate in 2016. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
The move has raised concerns from Republicans that the prosecution is politically motivated — and McCarthy wants the House to investigate. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
"I’m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions," McCarthy said.
