A New York grand jury on Thursday voted to indict former President Donald Trump, making him the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges.
Two Oklahoma Lawmakers took to Twitter to respond to the news.
“Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is weaponizing our judicial system to go after President Trump in a complete partisan sham,” said Oklahoma U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin in a thread.

“House Republicans are committed to investigating if any federal funds are being used by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his office to target President Trump for the purpose of interfering in our elections. I urge Democrats to join Republicans in condemning this baseless act of political persecution and commit to upholding the integrity of our elections and Republic,” said Brecheen.
