Sen. Josh Hawley said the new felony charges brought against former President Donald Trump on Thursday for his handling of classified documents after he left the White House were"brazen."
"Senator, it seems like, again, the two-tiered system of justice, Hunter [Biden] gets an agreement that would give him all broad immunity, and meanwhile, they just keep piling on Trump from every corner," Fox News host Laura Ingraham said to Hawley on Thursday night.
He added,"It's so brazen right now what they are doing. It is really a subversion of the rule of law. They are taking the rule of law and turning it on its head. Laura, we cannot allow this to stand. The American people are not going to be safe. Our system of government is not going to be safe if this is going to be the new standard."
Hawley’s comments came hours after special counsel Jack Smith brought three new felony charges against the former president, which include two new obstruction of justice charges for claims that he pressured to have an employee erase security camera footage at Mar-a-Lago that federal investigators were seeking in their investigation of his handling of classified documents.
"It wasn’t until the judge in open court questioned them and said, 'Hold on, hold on. What are the actual facts here?' DOJ was trying to hide the facts," he said."It is two standards of justice. He should be treated like anybody else."
