We have reactions tonight from some members of Kentucky's congressional delegation after the latest indictment of former President Donald Trump.

He already faces charges involving hush money payments to cover up a sex scandal in New York and charges related to classified documents found at his home in Florida.

Yesterday, special counsel Jack Smith announced a grand jury had indicted Trump on four charges connected to the 2020 presidential election.

Trump's claims of fraud and the eventual attack on the US Capitol.

Trump is now charged with defrauding the United States, obstructing an official government proceeding.

The certification of the Electoral College vote and depriving people of a civil right.

The right to have their votes counted.

Congressman James Comer of the First Congressional District, which includes Western Kentucky, told the Fox News Channel that the charges Trump faces should instead be aimed at President Joe Biden.

Commerce chair of the House Oversight Committee, the committee that conducts investigations.

He told Fox that Biden had damaged America's system of government and that Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland are using the Trump investigations for their own, quote, self-preservation.

Comer says, quote, that the ultimate goal for the deep state bureaucracy in Washington, D.C.. Unquote.

The only Democrat in Kentucky's congressional delegation is Morgan McGarvie of the Louisville area third District.

He tweeted, quote, No one is above the law, even a former president.

Our system only works when everyone, regardless of wealth or status, is held accountable for their actions.

We must continue working to protect and strengthen our democracy, not threaten it, unquote.

U.S.

Senator Mitch McConnell has not commented on yesterday's new indictment.

He has spoken out before about the January 6th attack on the US Capitol and then President Trump's role.

He's one of Senator McConnell statements.

Here's one of Senators McConnell statements from the Senate floor in 2021.

There's no question, none that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.

No question about it.

The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president, and having that believe was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth.

A reporter from the Hill, Alexander Bolton, asked Senator McConnell about the likelihood of a Trump indictment.

Less than two weeks ago.

You said on the Senate floor in 2021 that the then President Trump or former President Trump was practically and morally responsible for the attack on the Capitol.

With a possible indictment looming, isn't of legitimate to charge him criminally for the events of that day?

Well, look, I've said every week out here that I'm not going to comment on the various candidates for the presidency.

How I felt about that I expressed at the time.

But I'm not going to start getting into sort of critiquing the various candidates for president.

Senator Mitch McConnell's remarks came about a week before his medical incident at the Capitol where he froze while talking to reporters.

He was a lot of way returned and said he was fine.
