Trump's Indictment: GOP Leaders Silent, House Republicans Vow Payback.

Senate GOP leaders, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Whip John Thune, have remained silent following the indictment of former President Donald Trump by the federal government. In contrast, House GOP leaders have rushed to Trump's defense, with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tweeting his support and promising to hold the "brazen weaponization of power" accountable. Some Republican senators have also come out in support of Trump, while others, including Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski, stressed the severity of the charges. Meanwhile, top House Republicans have attacked the Department of Justice and vowed to hold the administration accountable.
