The speaker says the Department of Justice indicated "last night" that it is again threatening to criminally indict them "for those exact words on accountability," then calls for reforms to "Trump-proof" the government so no leader, Democrat or Republican, can enrich themselves.

Number two, we have to have accountability for people who broke the law and who stole taxpayer dollars. That is, we have to be a country of rules and laws, so picking signature cases of people that really abuse the law and taxpayer dollars and going and demonstrating that you can't do that. This should not be a controversial statement. It has become controversial, including for me last night when the Department of Justice and indicated that they are again threatening to criminally indict me for those exact words on accountability. And then number three, we need to make sure that a very unsexy group of people are thinking very hard about how to Trump -proof the government going forward so that no leader can do this again, no leader can enrich themselves on the backs of the American people, Democrat or Republican.
