EXCERPT:
MCCARTHY: “Yeah, it absolutely could. In fact, David, at the same time, simultaneously, the same thing could be said for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. They were putting out a bogus story that Trump was an operative of the Kremlin and they did that under bogus campaign research that they said they did, opposition research. And then in the books of the campaign they did what Bragg is alleging Trump falsely did, which is they characterized the payment that was for one thing as legal expenses. So this case could just as equally have been brought against Hillary Clinton. And in many ways you could argue that it was a stronger case against Hillary Clinton because her campaign was actually fined by the Federal Election Commission for a fraudulent practice. The Justice Department and the FEC looked at Trump on the same thing Bragg is prosecuting here, and decided it wasn’t a campaign finance violation. So, query, what is it that Bragg is saying makes what Trump did illegal, made these payments illegal that they’re telling the jury were illegal?”
