Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticized rumors of President Trump’s possible looming indictment on Saturday, calling it “un-American” to prosecute the former president.
“It is un-American for the ruling party to use police power to arrest its political rivals,” the entrepreneur said on Twitter. “If a Republican prosecutor in 2004 had used a campaign finance technicality to arrest then-candidate John Kerry while Bush & Cheney were in power, liberals would have cried foul – and rightly so.”
“This will mark a dark moment in American history and will undermine public trust in our electoral system itself,” Ramaswamy continued. “I call on the Manhattan District Attorney to reconsider this action and to put aside partisan politics in service of preserving our Constitutional republic.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office is reportedly planning to indict the former president regarding his alleged hush money scandal with porn star Stormy Daniels.
During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen allegedly sent $130,000 to Daniels to prevent her from publicizing her 2006 affair with Trump. Cohen was allegedly reimbursed by Trump through installments.
Prosecutors will likely argue that the $130,000 payment to Daniels was an improper donation to the Trump campaign, as Daniels’ NDA helped his candidacy.
