"Our democracy rests on the rule of law. When someoneno matter how powerful they areis suspected of a criminal act, our justice system investigates, charges, and convicts them in accordance with due process.
"This is just one of many criminal acts for which Donald Trump is being investigated. Make no mistake: the fact that one of the most powerful people in the world was investigated impartially and indicted is testament to the fact that we still live in a nation of laws. And no one is above the law.
"Now it is up to all of us, as citizens and elected leaders, to support accountability and to follow the facts where they lead. Political interference in a criminal investigation, up to and including incitement of violence, are hallmarks of democratic decline. I hope all of my colleagues will join me in supporting justice and accountabilityregardless of partyfor the sake of our democracy."
