TL;DR Summary

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy dismissed former President Donald Trump's payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels as "personal money" and accused the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation of being politically motivated. Trump had suggested he would be arrested this week in connection to the investigation. McCarthy also drew a similarity between Trump's case and the FEC investigation into Hillary Clinton's campaign, arguing for equal justice. The House GOP's annual issues retreat has been overshadowed by Trump's potential indictment, but McCarthy rejected the notion that they are defending Trump, saying they are defending equal justice in America.
