EXCLUSIVE: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., blasted the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday in response to former President Donald Trump being indicted as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s months-long investigation into the former president's handling of classified documents.
McCarthy — who made the comments during a tour at a historical site in Pennsylvania — heavily criticized the DOJ for applying a double standard when it came to Trump and called for federal prosecutors to apply equal justice of the law.
"This is going to disrupt this nation because it goes to the core of equal justice for all, which is not being seen today. And we're not going to stand for it," McCarthy told Fox News Digital.
"This is a very dark day in America when you think about what they're trying to indict President Trump on," McCarthy told Fox News Digital in an interview. "You've got a sitting president right now in the exact same situation. You have a former first lady, senator, secretary of state, that had the same situation that nothing was done to."
