House Republicans are reportedly setting their sights on countering 'politicized' court cases by making prosecutors liable for misconduct.
Scott likened the idea to the push to end qualified immunity for police officers that many progressives clamored for in the wake of George Floyd's death. Qualified immunity shields police officers from liability unless they clearly breach constitutional rights.
"These left-wing, liberal prosecutors and George Soros prosecutors want to take away immunity from police officers, yet they want to maintain it for themselves," Scott added."I guarantee you if this prosecutor did not have immunity for his actions, he would not have filed this against Donald Trump." House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has called on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to testify before his panel about his investigation of Trump.
"We have a lot of questions for the Manhattan district attorney. He doesn't have the luxury of whether or not to determine whether he didn't show up for a congressional inquiry. I think we're going to use whatever means necessary," Comer told Fox Business on Monday. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has similarly teased that the House GOP will take action to"hold Alvin Bragg and his unprecedented abuse of power to account."
