Senate Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, are “staying quiet” on former President Trump’s 37 criminal charges over Mar-a-Lagogate. McConnell has told his GOP colleagues that he wants the party to turn the page on Trump, The Hillreports. Republican Whip John Thune (SD) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) also have said they don’t want Trump to be the GOP nominee again in 2024.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) wasted no time issuing statements last Thursday calling the Justice Department indictments “political.”
