Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

Democratic Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren responded to former President Trump's recent comments suggesting that she and other committee members should be indicted by emphasizing the constitutional protections afforded to members of Congress. Lofgren pointed out that Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution shields legislators from prosecution for performing their legislative duties.

She defended the committee's work, stating that they have referred relevant matters to the Department of Justice and made evidence publicly available. Lofgren dismissed Trump's threats of arrest, highlighting the legal processes required for such actions, including the need for probable cause and grand jury indictments.
