A Fox News guest said Monday night that the indictments of former President Donald Trump were “a political hit job” and represented “corruption.”

“I don’t think you have to be a lawyer or some political expert,” Charlie Hurt, opinion editor of The Washington Times, told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “You don’t have to be watching all that closely to realize the depth of the devil standard and the corruption that’s going on here.” (RELATED: ‘He Is On The Beach’: Victor Davis Hanson Says Dems Will ‘Fixate’ On Trump Indictments To Distract From Biden’s Decline)

A grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, handed down ten indictments Monday night, charging Trump and other associates over Trump’s efforts to contest the 2020 election results in that state. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who launched a probe into Trump’s efforts to contest the 2020 election results in that state in 2021, announced in April that the probe could lead to the indictment of Trump.

WATCH:

“The entire legal apparatus at the direction of the Democrat Party and back then, Barack Obama, President Obama, was being directed to go after Donald Trump and of course, he got elected, and ever since then, they have never relented whether it was the Obama administration or the administrative state at DOJ, and then Democrats in Congress and they have never stopped trying to pervert our cherished judicial system to take care of a political enemy,” Hurt said.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges during his Aug. 3 federal arraignment after special counsel Jack Smith secured a four-count indictment of Trump relating to his efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election. Smith previously secured a 37-count indictment against Trump in June based on an investigation into allegations surrounding classified documents.

“You know, part of the problem for Donald Trump is that he’s also taken on Republicans and he’s overhauled the Republican Party and by doing that, he has drawn enemies in this case in Georgia,” Hurt said. You’ve got political hacks down in Georgia testifying with political motivation against Donald Trump in this case. Openly admitting that they hate Donald Trump and that’s why they’re testifying.”

“This entire thing is a political hit job, and they will never stop unless we American people stop it for them,” Hurt added. “If they get away with this, what they’re doing right now, this is the way politics will be carried out in America for the rest of all time.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
