Kevin McCarthy claims Trump's Jan. 6 target letter was sent because he 'went up in the polls'
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) reacted to Donald Trump's revelation that he received a letter stating he is a target in an investigation into the Jan. 6 attacks.
"Well, I guess under a Biden administration, Biden America, you'd expect this," McCarthy told reporters. "If you notice, recently, President Trump went up in the polls and was actually surpassing President Biden for re-election."
"So what do they do now?" he continued. "Weaponize government to go after their number one opponent."
On Tuesday, Trump said on Truth Social that he had received a "target letter" from special counsel Jack Smith, indicating that the former president could soon be charged.
In a statement at the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called the letter "bulls--t."
