Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a joint statement Friday, "No one is above the law – including Donald Trump."

"This indictment must now play out through the legal process, without any outside political or ideological interference," they said. "We encourage Mr. Trump’s supporters and critics alike to let this case proceed peacefully in court.”

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told Fox News he believes the indictment is "going to disrupt this nation because it goes to the core of equal justice for all."

"This is a very dark day in America when you think about what they're trying to indict President Trump on," McCarthy said, falsely equating the crimes Trump allegedly committed with President Joe Biden's own handling of classified documents.

McCarthy said House Republicans "are not going to stand for it," saying he’s already talked to House Oversight Chairman James Comer and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan "of things that we can do to ensure equal justice."

Former President Donald Trump and his aide, Walt Nauta, are set to appear in court at 3 p.m. Tuesday at a federal courthouse in Miami, according to a spokesperson for special counsel Jack Smith.

The indictment was returned Thursday and unsealed on Friday, according to his office.

Trump is expected to arrive at and depart from the Miami courthouse Friday via secure private access points that would make it impossible for the public or journalists to see him.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, "While operational security precludes us from going into specifics, the Secret Service will not seek any special accommodations outside of what would be required to ensure the former President's continued safety. As with any site visited by a protectee, the Secret Service is in constant coordination with the necessary entities to ensure protective requirements are met. We have the utmost confidence in the professionalism and commitment to security shared by our law enforcement partners in Florida.

"Miami police will also help Tuesday with "personnel, resources, detours, and/or road closures," Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales said in a statement. "We're committed to protecting everyone's first amendment right and will continue to serve our residents, business owners, and visitors while maintaining the safety of our community."

Special counsel Jack Smith said Friday that he invites everyone to read the indictment "in full to understand the scope and the gravity of the crimes charged."

"The men and women of the United States intelligence community and our Armed Forces dedicate their lives to protecting our nation and its people. Our laws that protect national defense information are critical for the safety and security of the United States, and they must be enforced," he said.

"We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone," Smith said. "Applying those laws, collecting facts, that's what determines the outcome of an investigation."

In the wake of the indictment, two of former President Donald Trump's lawyers have submitted their resignations.

Jim Trusty and John Rowley said they were stepping down in a joint statement.

"This morning we tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation," they wrote.

Trump, meanwhile, claimed Friday that he had removed two of his attorneys representing him in the documents probe and "will be announcing additional lawyers in the coming days."

"I want to thank Jim Trusty and John Rowley for their work," Trump said on Truth Social, "but they were up against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil, and 'sick' group of people, the likes of which has not been seen before."

Trump said he will be represented in the case by Todd Blanche, who attended Manhattan criminal court with the former president in April, and "a firm to be named later."
