(Radio Iowa) – Republican Senator Chuck Grassley says, as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he’s making it a priority to work with whistleblowers to get information about people who worked on federal indictments against President Trump.

“Everybody who had anything to do since President Trump went down that golden elevator in 2015 (and) have been trying to get him out of the presidency or what he was out of the presidency into prison,” Grassley says. Grassley says he’s concerned the F-B-I and Department of Justice have conducted politically-charged investigations of Trump.

“I’m going to make sure that everybody is exposed and the documents prove it for the eight years that the opposition was trying to put President Trump in prison,” Grassley said. Grassley made his remarks during Trump’s rally on the fairgrounds to kick off the 4th of July holiday and the year-long celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence.

In 2023, Trump was charged with mishandling classified records and attempting to overturn with results of the 2016 election. Both cases have been dismissed. The Justice Department abandoned appeals after Trump’s election.
