Trump indictment sparks backlash and concerns over potential violence.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy 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. Trump was indicted as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s months-long investigation into the former president's handling of classified documents. McCarthy questioned whether Biden removed documents from the SCIF when he was a senator. McCarthy said he has been in contact with House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, about actions they could take to ensure fairness in the cases.
