MIAMI — U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, with the bolstering of human rights activists and former political prisoners from Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, accused the Biden administration of utilizing a tactic commonly found in dictator playbooks: Weaponizing the legal system to go after the president’s opponents.
Scott was referring to last week’s indictment of former President Donald Trump, who is facing 37 federal charges related to keeping hundreds of classified documents in his possession after he left the White House in January 2021. Trump will be arraigned in federal court in Miami Tuesday afternoon.
“This isn’t about Republicans or Democrats. No one is above the law. Period,’ said Scott during a Monday afternoon news conference in Doral. “But the rule of law requires equal justice under the law and has gone missing under the Biden administration.”
