Booker Statement on Indictment of Former President Trump

Statement

U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, issued the following statement:

"The bedrock of our legal system is the principle that justice applies to everyone equally. No one is above the law.

"This indictment isn't a trivial matter. It means that a grand jury -- an impartial group of citizens sworn by oath to perform their duties faithfully -- has decided that there is enough evidence to charge former President Trump with committing a crime.

"And like every person charged with a serious crime, the former President has due process rights. He will have an opportunity to defend himself in a court of law before a jury of his peers."
