WASHINGTON -- Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Kansas City Democrat, thinks in most cases any elected official or member of Congress who can’t have sympathy for someone in a situation like former President Donald Trump is pathetic.
Trump said on social media Tuesday that he received a letter from special prosecutor Jack Smith that a grand jury is considering charges about his efforts to hold on to the presidency after losing the 2020 election. Such letters usually indicate a coming indictment, which would be Trump’s third indictment this year.
Cleaver said he was talking to friends on the House floor about having sympathy for Trump and one asked him whether Trump would express the same sympathy to him if the tables were turned.
