Kevin McCarthy, the US House Speaker, considered the decision to indict Donald Trump has done "irreparable damage” to the country, while allies of the former president are launching a violent attack on Democrats and judicial officials, according to Washington Daily News.

McCarthy said that Attorney General " Democrat Alvin Prague " in Manhattan had irreparably harmed our country, trying to interfere in our upcoming 2024 US presidential election.

He added that "the American people will not tolerate injustice and the House of Representatives will hold Alvin Prague accountable and his unprecedented abuse of power "by making this accusation.

Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump’s leading contender for the Republican nomination in the 2024 US presidential election, said that the indictment of the former president Trump was " contrary to American values” according to Washington Daily News.

Florida Governor DeSantis, where Trump's residence is, added that "he would not assist in requesting extradition given the questionable circumstances” of the indictment, which he described as a part of a” political agenda”.
