Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Cory Mills (R-FL) floated possible criminal cases against special counsel Jack Smith, Judge Juan Merchan and his daughter, Democratic fundraiser Loren Merchan, over prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump.
Merchan oversaw a criminal case where Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in New York. Smith brought charges against Trump for trying to subvert the 2020 presidential election and mishandling classified documents.
During a segment on Fox News on Sunday, host Maria Bartiromo wondered what would become of “the criminal cases brought forth by Biden’s DOJ and Democrat state prosecutors against President-elect Donald Trump.”
“But what I will tell you, Maria, is that Jack Smith violated the Constitution,” Luna opined. “And I’m really happy that Jim Jordan and House Judiciary is telling him to preserve evidence because even after President Trump is elected, we need to ensure that this never happens to any other candidate for president ever again.”
“And so we have to follow through, see who exactly ordered that,” she continued. “And if it means that we need to bring criminal prosecution, I think that we need to.”
Mills agreed with Luna but said that punishment for the Trump prosecutions should include additional names.
