Swalwell Statement on Indictment of President Trump

Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) issued the following statement after reports that former President Donald J. Trump has been indicted by a grand jury:

"The indictment of a former president is a somber day for America. It's also a time to put faith in our judicial system. Donald Trump deserves every protection provided to him by the Constitution and due process under our rule of law.

"As this case progresses let us neither celebrate nor destroy. As the former president continues to call for violence in his name, let all of us, as Democrats and Republicans, condemn his efforts to incite. We are better than that and justice benefits all of us."
