The DOJ has indicted at least 7 Democrats, as well as several Republicans, notably former President Donald Trump.
Following Thursday’s unsealed indictment, New York City Mayor Eric Adams joins a handful of other Democrats indicted by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice.
Under President Joe Biden, the DOJ has issued two federal indictments against former President Donald Trump—one for mishandling classified documents and another for alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election—but it has also pursued Democrats, most notably the president’s son, Hunter Biden.
Last November, Trump said in a Noticias Univision interview that the DOJ « has allowed the next party, if I happen to be president, and I see someone doing well and beating me very badly, I say go down and indict them.they’d be out of the election. » He has repeatedly called the indictments against him part of a political witch hunt.Democrats indicted by the Biden administration’s DOJ: New York City Mayor Eric Adams
