House Republicans are engaging in an investigation into whether prosecutors leading cases against former President Donald Trump are using “political retribution in the court system to go after political opponents,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Sunday.
Johnson told “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream the GOP will “fight back” with “everything in our arsenal” after Trump was convicted on all counts in a New York hush money trial last week, though he stressed “the confines of the rule of law” will be their guide.
“What we’ll do with our tools that we have in Congress, in the House, is we’ll use our oversight responsibility,” Johnson explained. “We’ve already done that,” he added before referring to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and one of his prosecutors being invited to testify before the Weaponization of the Federal Government panel.
