A Manhattan grand jury on Thursday voted to indict former President Donald Trump.
Maryland lawmakers are sharing their thoughts and reactions on social media.

"The indictment of Donald Trump speaks for itself. A cross-section of ordinary Americans decided there was probable cause of a crime after reviewing the evidence and hearing from the witnesses," tweeted Maryland Congressman Kweisi Mfume. "The justice system doesn’t allow us to replace the grand jury’s judgement with our own."

"Looks like Jim Jordan's illegal attempt to intimidate @ManhattanDA and the grand jury fell flat," added Congressman Glenn Ivey.
The exact charges in the indictment aren't entirely clear at the time of this writing, what is known is that the case stems from alleged hush-money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels.
