Trump wins support from 37 Republicans in the House of Representatives

Former American leader Donald Trump was able to enlist the support of at least 37 Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives of Congress. According to the Internet portal Axios, this will help him in the presidential race and the trial.

It is noted that the ex-president “was supported by 37 Republicans in the House of Representatives”, including “more than a third of the Republicans” in the Judiciary Committee and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability of the House of Representatives of the US Congress.

Against the background of the presentation of charges against the politician, he seeks to get the members of these committees to check the prosecutor’s office, where the proceedings against him are ongoing.

According to the publication, Trump regularly consults with Republican lawmakers and often talks with the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan and Elise Stefanik, who are called “key players” among the supporters of the former head of the White House in the House of Representatives. He also discusses the possibility of an investigation into US President Joe Biden, whom Trump has repeatedly accused of corruption.

They supported the ex-leader and at least five Republican senators, the article concluded.

On March 18, Trump announced that he would be detained on March 21 in connection with an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney. According to the NBC channel, the potential detention of the politician is connected precisely with the possible payment of money to the porn actress.

Manhattan prosecutors then charged former US President Donald Trump with more than 30 counts of business fraud. On March 30, a grand jury voted to indict him. The American media believe that the first criminal prosecution of an ex-president in US history will rally Trump’s supporters and turn him into a martyr.

The former president himself called the accusations election interference and an attack on the United States, and also called on Americans to protest. His supporters adhere to the same position – for example, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green called for the impeachment of the current US President Joe Biden.

Speaker of the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy, commenting on what is happening, pointed to the political persecution of the former head of the White House. However, Trump is also being investigated for alleged financial fraud.
