Rep. Jim Banks blasted the indictment against former President Trump as politically motivated and predicted the Democrats will come to see it as a political mistake.
As Republican Rep. Jim Banks is set to retire in hopes of ascending to the U.S. Senate, state Sen. Andy Zay will make a bid for Banks' open House seat.
"I watched what the left did to this guy every single day he was in the White House and every single day since," Banks said."I'm not surprised by how low and how far the Democrats will go to abuse their power to stop the most effective president of my lifetime from becoming president again." "I'm not surprised by how low and how far are the Democrats will go to abuse their power to stop the most effective president of my lifetime from becoming president again."Banks went on to predict that Trump's indictment will further embolden him and his supporters and that the Democrats will come to realize that it was"a political mistake on their part."
"Also keep in mind, Tony, that it is a federal crime to use the Justice Department to try to block someone from becoming the nominee of their party," Banks continued, adding that"there are so many angles of this that I believe are going to play out for years.""It is obvious to the American people – you can count on this – it is obvious to the American people that these charges are politically timed, they're political in nature.
Trump, who endorsed Banks for his 2024 Senate run in Indiana, raked in more than $5 million in campaign donations within 48 hours of his indictment last Thursday.Trump is expected to appear in court Tuesday in New York City over allegations that he gave hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016 to keep her quiet ahead of that year’s presidential election amid her claims the two had a sexual encounter years earlier.
