GOP defends Trump amid potential indictment backlash.

Republicans, including former Vice President Mike Pence, are rallying around former President Donald Trump, claiming that the Manhattan District Attorney's Office is politically targeting him for prosecution. The possible arrest of Trump over an alleged $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election is being called one of the worst uses of the justice system. Democrats are being criticized for miscalculating and building sympathy for the former president, while some Republicans are calling it another example of a two-tier system of justice. Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona said he thinks the Manhattan DA wouldn't have proceeded if he didn't have a strong case against Trump.
