Statement From Congressman Dan Goldman on the Indictment of Former President Donald Trump

“Our nation was founded on the rule of law that mandates that no person is above the law. We are blessed with a legal system that is designed to vindicate the robust rights of all defendants.  
 
“Just like every other criminal defendant, Donald Trump has long-standing constitutional rights to a trial by jury, to confront his accusers and to legal counsel. If he believes that the legal basis for his indictment is unfounded, he can make that argument to a judge, who decides the law.  
 
“As the process plays out, every elected official from across the ideological spectrum must make unequivocally clear that there is no room for political violence or interference. Donald Trump’s defense must take place in the court of law, not in the halls of Congress or in the political sphere.”
