In response to the FBI arresting a sitting judge, Idaho Democratic Party Chair Lauren Necochea released the following statement:

“Donald Trump is waging war on American democracy. He is willing to shred the Constitution, dismantle our institutions, and crush our freedoms to cling to power. From unleashing violent mobs to storm the Capitol to ordering the arrest of a duly elected judge, Trump has shown us exactly who he is: a coward who wants to rule like a dictator. If we let him, our country will become a place where elections are rigged, dissent is silenced, and justice means rewarding his loyalists and punishing everyone else. The Republican-controlled Congress must act now to hold him accountable before we lose the promise of American democracy first envisioned by our Founding Fathers.”
