‘Accountability Is Here’ for Weaponization of Government: Byron Donalds

Rep. Byron Donalds (R. Fla.) stated that the Republican-led House of Representatives would not hesitate to hold federal officials responsible for any abuses of government power.

“What we’ve always committed to is that we’re going to investigate every section of the federal government that warrants it,” Donalds talked to NTD News, The Epoch Times sister outlet while attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, (CPAC), in Washington on March 2.

“Accountability is here,” He added. “Now, what the next steps are—the evidence is going to have to take that.”

Donalds pointed to Donald Trump’s former president as an example and stated that the Democrats would not allow it. “detrimental to the country” It would be a good idea if Republicans were to start targeting people for investigation because of their political opinions rather than the evidence.

“We want the facts speak for themselves,” He said. “So, at the Department of Justice, how was the order given to target parents just trying to advocate for their children’s schooling? What about people who are pro-life advocates who are using their First Amendment rights to assemble and to speak? Why are they being targeted and people being brought up on charges? And then, of course, the thing that we should never forget about—what about the handling of Jan. 6 detainees?”
