“Two senators who voted to convict former President Donald Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — one a Republican and one a Democrat — have raised concerns that Mr. Trump has been improperly targeted by the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, even before they have learned the details of the indictment,” the New York Times reports.
Said Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV): “It’s just a very, very sad day for America. Especially when people are maybe believing that the rule of law or justice is not working the way it’s supposed to and it’s biased — we can’t have that. But on the other hand, no one’s above the law. But no one should be targeted by the law.”
Said Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA): “It’s wrong. I’ll put it this way — no one should be the target of the law. This seems to be more about the person than about the crime.”
