Bush Rips Indictment: Voters Should Be Trump’s Jury

The Hill reports:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who ran for president in 2016, questioned the indictment that the Manhattan grand jury issued against former President Trump on Thursday, saying the jury in deciding the case should be “the voters.” He also mentioned that other authorities looking into the case other than Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg did not pursue the case. Bush’s reference to Bragg’s predecessor is Cyrus Vance Jr., who served as the Manhattan district attorney for more than a decade and began the investigation into the payment.

Bragg’s predecessor didn’t take up the case. The Justice Department didn’t take up the case. Bragg first said he would not take up the case. This is very political, not a matter of justice. In this case, let the jury be the voters.
