Hillary Clinton says she feels ‘profound sadness’ over Trump indictments
Hillary Clinton seemingly got the last laugh as she reacted to the news that ex-President Donald Trump was just indicted by a Georgia grand jury over his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state.
The former secretary of state visited “The Rachel Maddow Show” Monday in a pre-scheduled appearance to discuss an op-ed she recently published when the latest indictment against Trump was announced.
Trump, 77, faces 13 counts including violating Georgia’s anti-racketeering law, conspiracy, false statements and asking a public official to violate their oath of office in the latest of four indictments.
Maddow noted that Clinton warned the country about Trump’s threat to democracy and asked if she feels any satisfaction in the prosecution of her former Republican opponent.
The Democrat’s humor quickly disappeared as she became serious in answering the question.
I don’t feel any satisfaction,” Clinton told Maddow. “I feel great profound sadness that we have a former president that has been indicted for so many charges that went right to the heart of whether or not our democracy would survive.”
“I don’t know that anybody should be satisfied,” Clinton added. “This is a terrible moment for our country to have a former president accused of these terribly important crimes. The only satisfaction may be that the system is working… and justice is being pursued.”
