An Illinois Congressman is sounding off on an indictment of former President Donald Trump.

Republican Darin LaHood, a former prosecutor himself, calls the indictment 'politically motivated.'

The charges against former President Trump stem from alleged hush payments to adult entertainment actor Stormy Daniels.

Though the indictment is under seal until a court hearing this week, multiple reports indicate that Trump could face up to 30 counts.

Trump is set to appear in a New York City courtroom later today (Tuesday).
