The New York prosecutor is looking into Trump\u2019s role in directing hush money payments in the lead up to the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cThis was personal money,\u201d McCarthy told reporters when he was asked if he has concerns with the allegations Trump is facing in Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was seven years ago, statute of limitation. And I think in your heart of hearts you know too, that you think this is just political. And I think that\u2019s what the rest of the country thinks. And we\u2019re kind of tired of that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump set off a political firestorm over the weekend when he suggested, in a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/110044039949982181\">Truth Social post<\/a>, that he would be arrested on Tuesday in connection to the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s investigation. Trump also called on his followers to \u201cPROTEST\u201d and \u201cTAKE OUR NATION BACK.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) signaled earlier this month that Trump may face criminal charges as part of his probe when the office offered the former president the chance to testify before a grand jury. <\/p>\n<p>Bragg has not yet made an official decision when it comes to charging Trump in the case. New York\u2019s statute of limitations is five years for most felonies or two years for misdemeanors, but that timeline can be extended if the defendant has lived out of state \u2014 as Trump did when he was in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy on Tuesday sought to draw a similarity between Trump\u2019s case and the Federal Election Commission (FEC) investigation into Hillary Clinton\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC). In March 2022, the Clinton campaign and DNC agreed to pay thousands of dollars in fines after they did not properly report the funds used on research for the Steele Dossier.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Clinton\u2019s campaign reported $175,000 it spent on research for the dossier as \u201clegal services.\u201d The campaign hired law firm Perkins Coie, which then recruited research group Fusion GPS, which brought on retired British spy Christopher Steele.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey went through and they got investigated,\u201d McCarthy said of Clinton\u2019s campaign and the DNC, adding \u201cand you know what, at the end of the day, they didn\u2019t get prosecuted, they got fined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey knowingly hid the fact of what they were doing to try to hide. They got investigated. So I look [at] it from this perspective: we live in America and it should be equal justice,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>At another point of the press conference McCarthy told reporters \u201cI do get concerned when I look out there and I see justice not being equal to others, especially in the history of where we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA local DA playing in presidential politics. If that starts right there don\u2019t you think it\u2019ll happen across the country?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>House Republicans are gathering this week in Orlando for their annual issues retreat, which was meant to be an event focused on the conference\u2019s recent successes but has instead been overshadowed by Trump\u2019s potential indictment in Manhattan. The GOP lawmakers have largely defended Trump while zeroing in on Bragg.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>McCarthy on Tuesday, however, rejected the notion that Trump has drowned out the conference, telling reporters \u201cit\u2019s not here that we\u2019re coming to defend President Trump; what we\u2019re coming to defend is equal justice in America and I think every American believes in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we see before us is not equal justice,\u201d he later added. \u201cWhat we see before us is a political <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> being played.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
