A day after a New York grand juryformer President Donald Trump, Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a sharp critic of the former president, said she’s afraid the indictment has “already become too politicized.”
“The reality is that no one is above the law, whether you are a sitting president or a former president, no one is above the law. Having said that, we have laws and we have a process that we follow,” Murkowski said Friday afternoon, answering a question about the indictment while appearing at a conference in Anchorage.
“What I would hope — those who speak out on this and those who report about this — do so in a tempered manner, with a respect for a process that needs to be nothing but thorough and fair and balanced every step of the way,” Murkowski concluded.
