Sen. Ted Cruz, who tried to stall Congress from affirming Donald Trump's defeat, denounces the charges against the former president as politically driven but...
Cruz, taping the podcast that evening, called it “thoroughly underwhelming” in that it broke little new ground with no allegation of witness tampering or inciting the Jan. 6 riot, for instance.“Everything in this indictment is basically what has been discussed in the news,” he said. “I was surprised that there wasn’t a smoking gun in here… The only news is, aha, they indicted him and then they get to repeat everything they said for the last two years.
Trump’s many critics point out that he’s the first defeated president to resist the peaceful transfer of power. Despite their animosity during the 2016 GOP presidential primary, he has long been one of Trump’s most ardent defenders, even volunteering to help his legal team in the weeks after the 2020 election.. Cruz said he wasn’t trying to overturn the election or delay Biden’s inauguration, then two weeks away; rather, he just sought a delay to allow for a thorough investigation into alleged fraud.
“They want a conviction. This Department of Justice hates Donald Trump, and they’ve given up any pretense of impartiality or objectivity,” he said. “Whether you want Donald Trump to be the next president or not, that question should not be answered by a corrupt Department of Justice weaponizing the legal system.
