Congressman Salud Carbajal (CA-24) issued the following statement today following the arraignment of former President Donald Trump in federal court for 37 felony charges:
“I understand that many Americans have developed an ability to tune out the routinely outrageous actions and seemingly endless legal troubles of Donald Trump.
“As someone who came to Washington only a few weeks before Mr. Trump, and someone whose first federal campaign coincided with his election, I oftentimes have that same reaction.
“But today cannot be viewed as just another day in the typical flurry that surrounds Donald Trump’s shocking words and actions. The charges filed against the former president include major violations of our national security and serious evidence of criminal obstruction. If filed against someone else, the gravity of the case laid out against them would be immediately apparent.
“We must do our best to ignore our desensitized impulses related to Donald Trump and recognize the seriousness of the charges and evidence assembled against him in this indictment.
“No one is above the law.”
