(CNN) House Speaker Paul Ryan, responding to a question about President Donald Trump's latest attacks on the Department of Justice, insisted Wednesday that "the process is working its way as it should" after two Republican members of Congress were indicted last month.

Ryan, speaking at the weekly Republican leadership news conference in Washington, faced questions about President Donald Trump's recent attacks against Attorney General Jeff Sessions over the indictments.

Asked Wednesday if Ryan was comfortable with Trump's attacks against the department, Ryan argued that "justice is blind."
