Rep. Fitzgerald dismisses Trump indictment as unsubstantiated on Newsmax
Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, a Republican from Wisconsin, spoke on Newsmax about the indictment against former President Donald Trump by special counsel Jack Smith. Fitzgerald stated that there was “just nothing there” in the 45-page, four-count indictment. He expressed shock and disbelief at the lack of substance in the charges. Fitzgerald’s state of Wisconsin was mentioned in the indictment, which accused Trump of relying on 84 people in seven states to fake being electors for him in order to stay in office. Fitzgerald questioned the real goal behind the indictment and suggested that there were irregularities in the election that need to be examined. He also mentioned ongoing investigations by Rep. James Comer and Rep. Jim Jordan into President Joe Biden and his family’s actions. Fitzgerald expressed the desire for a thorough and fair process in any potential impeachment inquiries, contrasting it with the perceived political nature of previous impeachment articles against Trump.
