Ohio Senator J.D. Vance has vowed to “grind [the Justice Department] to a halt” in response to the indictment of Donald Trump on charges related to his treatment of classified documents after leaving office.
The former president has been charged with, including violations of the Espionage Act, conspiracy to obstruct justice, corruptly concealing a record or document, and concealing a document in a federal investigation. The charges stem largely from Trump’s alleged efforts to prevent the government from recovering the materials.
Vance, like many other Republicans, jumped to Trump’s defense as news of the indictment broke late last week. On Saturday, Vance wrote on Twitter that “prosecuting a president over his own government’s documents is turning a political issue into a legal one.” The question of whether Trump should have kept those documents is fundamentally a political question. Criticize it, attack it, vote against it. But prosecuting a president over his own government’s documents is turning a political issue into a legal one.
