Philly Leader

Pennsylvania House Republicans have taken a stand by calling on Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry to investigate Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's handling of the arrest warrant issued for state Rep. Kevin Boyle (D-Philadelphia) and any potential election law violations.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Pennsylvania House Republican Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster) expressed concerns about the situation, stating, “The involvement by District Attorney Krasner and his office in the issuance and withdrawal of the arrest warrant issued for Rep. Boyle on the literal eve of a primary election in which he was a candidate for office raises serious questions.”

Rep. Martina White (R-Philadelphia) also voiced her opinion on the matter, highlighting a broader issue within the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, stating, "This case is symptomatic of an office that has repeatedly exploited its power, not merely bending the rules but breaking them."

The letter calling for the investigation was transmitted to the attorney general on Tuesday morning. The Republicans believe that the actions of the District Attorney's Office warrant a thorough investigation to ensure transparency and accountability.

This move comes amidst growing concerns about the conduct of the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and the need to uphold the law and ensure fair treatment for all individuals involved in legal proceedings.
