Nineteen Republican former members of Congress have signed an open letter that calls on the courts to maneuver “as quickly as possible” on Donald Trump’s 4 felony instances for the sake of the nation.
Former Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), Barbara Comstock (R-Va.), Charles Dent (R-Pa.) and David Jolly (R-Fla.) have been amongst these to specific their deep concern that Trump’s response to his prosecutions is testing the “fundamental proposition” of America’s founding that “we are a nation of laws, not of men, and accordingly no man is above the law.”
The allegation that the Republican 2024 front-runner tried to overturn the 2020 election result’s “existential for our democracy when the defendant is asking voters to re-elect him to the presidency,” they warned.
Trump is “entitled to a fair trial” however Americans are “entitled to a speedy trial” too particularly earlier than the 2024 election, they mentioned within the missive printed by The Bulwark.
“This is why we are joining a chorus of voices from both sides of the aisle calling on the courts to ensure that the former president is tried with the speed and dispatch that should attend every criminal prosecution,” the lawmakers added.
