Oklahoma lawmakers released statements after former President Donald Trump was arraigned on Tuesday in New York.

Representative Stephanie Bice released the following statement:

“Today’s unprecedented charges are a result of political weaponization by a District Attorney who campaigned on prosecuting former President Trump. Now it is up to the former President and his legal team to fight back and prove his case. Political prosecution cannot be tolerated; it is a serious threat to the fundamental values and freedoms that make America extraordinary.”

Congressman Josh Brecheen released the following statement:

“Today’s arrest of President Trump by a far-Left District Attorney in New York is a politically motivated witch hunt and a serious abuse of power that is destructive to our Republic. It is obvious that these charges were only brought because President Trump is running for President. This will make President Trump stronger and increase support for him as Americans are tired of their government being used against “We the People.” The real reason he is “wanted” is for making America Great Again; the ideology and actions he took as President. I continue to call on Democrats to join Republicans in condemning this baseless act of political persecution.”
