House GOP Majority Rallies Behind Trump
Conservative leaders throw support behind former president after indictment
WASHINGTON, DC – In the moments following Donald Trump’s indictment, Kevin McCarthy and his far-right House GOP majority threw their support behind the former president. Government watchdog Accountable.US released the following statement:

At the end of the day, Trump’s fate will be determined in a court of law, not by his House GOP cronies — but in one of the most important moments in history, Americans won’t forget where Kevin McCarthy and his majority stood.”
