Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), one of the top Senate Republicans, decried the indictment of former President Donald Trump on 34 felony charges as a “political agenda run amok,” as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) continues to avoid commenting on the topic.
On April 4, Trump appeared at the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, where Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged him with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to an alleged “hush money” payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016. Daniels claims she had an affair with Trump in 2006, a charge which Trump denies.
