Our courts are working, John.
Last night, we learned that Donald Trump has been indicted in Florida on federal charges surrounding the mishandling of classified documents. And just a few minutes ago, the indictment was unsealed.
This is the first federal indictment of a former U.S. President in our nation’s history.
It comes two months after the first state-level indictment of a former President — when a grand jury led by New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump for hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.
And between those two events, Trump was found by a New York jury to have sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll.
Our courts are working.
But our federal judiciary could burst at the seams at any moment. The far-right is putting stress on our judiciary. They’re stacking the Supreme Court with justices hand-picked by the conservative Federalist Society. They’re trying to hijack our judicial system at all levels to suit their ends.
John, our courts MUST continue working.
That’s why I introduced and am fighting to pass reforms to strengthen the independence of the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary. Will you chip in to have my back so that I can keep my focus on ensuring that our federal courts continue to work for the American people?
