GOP figures rally behind Trump, attack prosecutor in response to indictment.
TL;DR Summary
Potential 2024 Republican presidential candidates have responded to former President Donald Trump's indictment by attacking Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor, but avoiding praise for Trump. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott all criticized Bragg for what they called a political prosecution. The indictment comes in connection with the yearslong investigation into a hush money scheme involving adult film star Stormy Daniels.
