ORLANDO, Fla. — U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Republican house members are kicking off a three day policy summit in Orlando, against the backdrop of former President Donald Trump saying his arrest is imminent.

On Saturday, Trump posted on social media that he expected to be indicted Tuesday on state charges in New York.

The investigation, led by Manhattan District Attorney, is focused on $130,000 in hush money paid to Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election.

Trump is the subject of several criminal investigations, including his role in the January 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol insurrection, and allegations of election interference in the State of Georgia during the 2020 presidential election.

A Trump campaign spokesperson told Spectrum News in a statement, that the expectation of charges is based solely on media reporting, not any direct conversations.

“There has been no notification, other than illegal leaks from the Justice Department and the DA’s office, to NBC and other fake news carriers, that the George Soros-funded Radical Left Democrat prosecutor in Manhattan has decided to take his Witch-Hunt to the next level,” the Trump Campaign said in a statement. “President Trump is rightfully highlighting his innocence and the weaponization of our injustice system.”

Trump is planning to hold a rally next weekend in Waco, Texas as part of his official 2024 bid to win a second term in the White House.

Republicans remain focused on regaining majorities in 2024, with momentum from retaking the House in the recent midterm elections.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) reacted to President Trump’s post over the weekend, tweeting: “Here we go again – an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump. I’m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions.”

In a recent series of one-on-one conversations with Spectrum News’ Cassie Semyon, House Speaker McCarthy said he is keeping his options open when it comes to who should be the Republican nominee for the White House in 2024, although he does keep in regular contact with Trump “once or twice a month.”

McCarthy spoke with Spectrum News in a lead up to a three day summit in Orlando.

House Republicans are meeting to further craft their party’s policies on issues ranging from the economy to China.

Revelations about investigations involving the former President come as House Republicans try to focus talking points on issues their supporters are focused on, including rising inflation, the national debt, the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, and for McCarthy – simply getting things done in D.C.

“You respect all of the different views in conference and bring people together, but at the end of the day, you have to make a decision,” McCarthy told Semyon.

Building wins within a divided party – and House chamber – will also involve bipartisanship.

Freshman Congressman Maxwell Frost (D-Orlando), says there are issues that can be passed in the House with support of Republicans and Democrats, but is cautious about progress as he says the majority party appears more focused on winning back the White House.

“I think people should look at what’s coming out of the House of Representatives, and look at the bills we’re voting on and that’s a good way to judge what the majority is doing with their time,” Representative Maxwell Frost said. “We haven’t seen bills on housing, we haven’t seen bills on wages, haven’t seen bills on protecting families, they’re really messaging bills and it goes to show that at least this republican majority is not interesting in governing they’re interesting in campaigning.”
