Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Tuesday an indictment of Donald Trump, would be an “abuse of power” and that the Manhattan district attorney should be “put in jail.”
The potential charges would reportedly stem from a $130,000 hush-money payment that then-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election in exchange for her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006.
"It’s gone on forever with Russia, Russia, Russia; Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine and the Mueller hoax," Trump said, referencing the investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who investigated his campaign for potential collusion with Russia during the same campaign."It’s an absolute disgrace, what’s going on."
