Washington, D.C.- Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) released the following statement below concerning former President Trump’s indictment:
“The Justice Department has presented a case against Donald Trump that is serious and diligent in its facts, and damaging to the former President.
“Everyone is entitled to their day in court and is presumed innocent until proven guilty, including Donald Trump. He will present his side of the argument and it will be up to a jury of his peers to decide if he violated the law. He is entitled to a fair trial and due process.“What is clear and unobjectionable is that Trump took highly classified and sensitive documents to his private residence with no intention of returning them to the federal government. That is a violation of federal law and he must be held accountable. No one is above the law.“Trump put our national security in jeopardy, and with that the lives of our servicemembers and intelligence officers who work to keep us safe and strong. It is unacceptable and a dark day for our nation when a former President puts himself above the safety of our nation.”
