“Recently, Speaker McCarthy stated that if the Department of Justice can prosecute Donald Trump, then ``they can do that to any American.'' Speaker McCarthy is absolutely correct. If the Department of Justice can prosecute Donald Trump for unlawfully retaining top secret, classified documents that put American lives at risk and sharing those documents with random people, then yes, the Department of Justice can prosecute you for unlawfully retaining top secret, classified documents and sharing them with random people, because you are not above the law and neither is Donald Trump. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair. ____________________”
