WASHINGTON -- Today, U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) issued the following statement on the indictment of former President Donald Trump:

“For the rest of our lives, January 6 will mark a day where democracy was brought to the brink as public servants barricaded behind locked doors, law enforcement officers suffered lasting harm, and Americans watched as thugs attempted to bring an entire branch of government to its knees. As with his other indictments, Donald Trump will have the opportunity to speak to these accusations in court. I hope to see my colleagues and fellow Americans respect law and order and allow these legal proceedings to run their course without violence or interference.”
