Sen. Eric Schmitt said Sunday that the Department of Justice employees behind the investigations into Donald Trump “should be fired immediately.” While speaking on “Meet the Press,” Schmitt added, “And anybody part of this, this effort to keep President Trump off the ballot and to throw him in jail for the rest of his life because they didn’t like his politics, and who continue to cast him as a quote, unquote threat to democracy, was wrong, and so we’ll see where that goes.”
The cases against Trump “all fell apart under the weight of the law,” Schmitt continued, and “there has to be accountability for these kinds of abuses.”
