U.S. Reps. Robert Aderholt and Barry Moore are condemning the revised indictment by Special Counsel Jack Smith against former President Donald Trump. In response to the Supreme Court’s July decision in the Presidential immunity case, Smith put forward a superseding indictment in the 2020 election interference case against Trump.
It is DOJ policy that the Department of Justice should not take any action that will influence an election within 60 days of that election – but they just have taken such action. Voting starts on September 6th, therefore the DOJ has violated its own policy – Election…

Aderholt (R-Haleyville) said this is just the latest example of weaponization of the Department of Justice against the former President.
“Jack Smith just got new indictments against [Donald Trump]two months before the election,” Aderholt said. “Yet, we are told that if Donald Trump wins, he will be the one to weaponize the Justice Department. He would have to work real hard to weaponize it more than Biden/Harris have.”

Moore (R-Enterprise) argued this is just more election interference.
“The Biden-Harris weaponized government strikes again,” Moore said. “This is election interference, plain and simple.”
