Durbin Statement on Trump Indictment by the Justice Department in January 6 Case

Statement

Date: Aug. 1, 2023
Location: CHICAGO
Issues: Judicial Branch

"No man, not even a former President, is above the law. The anger and resentment Donald Trump stoked with his "Big Lie' put the country a half step away from a constitutional crisis, led to a deadly insurrection on January 6, 2021, and left an embarrassing stain on our nation's history.

As I've said before: While this historic and very serious case continues to play out, Special Counsel Smith must be allowed to continue his investigation without interference. And former President Trump should be afforded the due process protections that he is guaranteed by our Constitution, just like any other American."
