The revelations in the unsealed federal indictment against former president Donald Trump have drawn quick response from all corners of the political world, including in Illinois.
Illinois Democrats are taking a measured approach in their response, while the head of the Illinois Republican Party suggested the Department of Justice has been weaponized for political purposes.Thursday Trump became the first former present to ever be indicted on federal charges. Friday he was out golfing in New Jersey.
"The strongest indictments, strongest cases, are the ones where you take the defendants documented actions, words, deeds that are memorialized contemporaneously and you use that to build your criminal case and as precisely, what this indictment does," she said. "I'd like to see the President be treated fairly. And given the presumption of innocence that's afforded to all Americans," said U.S. Rep. Jonathan Jackson .
"It certainly complicates everything about the 2024 election, and that's why I say these charges need to better not be political. You know, they better be rock solid or the Justice Department has really done a terrible thing," said Don Tracy, chair of the Illinois Republican Party.
