Iowa AG Decries Trump Prosecutions as Illegitimate Sham
Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird leads a 23 state coalition calling on Special Counsel Smith, Attorney General James, and Fulton County District Attorney Willis to end what she calls political prosecutions of Donald Trump. She says the cases undermine the constitution and faith in justice. The group argues prosecutions should not proceed while exercising caution over presidential limits. The report notes prior judicial rulings limiting actions against ex presidents and ongoing reconsideration of the cases ahead of Trump’s term. The AP contributed to this report.
