Ramaswamy sues DOJ, files fresh records request for Trump indictment details
The Hill ^ | 8.1.2023 | Julia Mueller

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Tuesday announced he’s suing the Department of Justice (DOJ) and filing a new Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) records request for more details about the recent indictments of former President Trump.

“My aim in bringing this lawsuit is to finally deliver accountability and transparency: what did Biden and his cronies tell [Attorney General Merrick] Garland and what did Garland and the deep-staters who put him in as Attorney General tell [special counsel] Jack Smith,” Ramaswamy said in a statement shared by his campaign.

Trump was indicted Tuesday by a Washington grand jury on charges, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S., related to his efforts to remain in power after losing his 2020 reelection bid to President Biden. “Despite having lost, the Defendant [Trump] was determined to remain in power. So for more than two months following election day on November 3, 2020, the Defendant spread lies that there had been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that he had actually won,” the indictment states.

Ramaswamy, who’s running against Trump for the GOP nomination, said the indictments against Trump “selectively omit relevant facts and law” and argued “the corrupt federal police won’t stop until they’ve achieved their mission: eliminate Trump.”

Good for him. So far all I have heard is silence from the rest of the GOP.

Well Pence chimed in and said this proves Trump is unfit to be president. DeSoros’ minions are celebrating too.

He says he'll pardon Trump for an indictment filed against him.

Let that sink in.

Just further proof that Pence is unfit to be President.

Smart, very smart. As RdS fades into the sunset, this guy steps up. He might be angling for the number two slot on Trump’s ticket.

“ Does Vivek promise to finish and then enforce the Wall?”

He goes well beyond. He is for deploying the military at the border. Also he doesn’t rule out (as a last measure) having the military strike cartels inside Mexico.
