Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said the Manhattan district attorney leading the investigation into former President Donald Trump’s alleged hush-money payments should «be put in jail.»
Paul’s comments came in a tweet Tuesday and follows the former president’s prediction that he would be indicted for his alleged role in making a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election to silence her about a previous affair.
«A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power,» Paul said in the tweet.
The Kentucky senator did not provide any further details or context on the tweet, and Trump had not been formally indicted by the district attorney’s office as of Tuesday afternoon. GOP calls for Alvin Bragg testimony
