Mar-a-Lago prepares for possible Trump indictment.

Former President Donald Trump and his team believe that if he is indicted in the case involving a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, Republicans will rally around him. A "war room" mentality now permeates Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach, Florida, nerve center of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Trump is keenly aware of the political opportunity created by a fight with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump's allies view the possible indictment as a win-win prospect. If he's not charged, he will be able to boast that he defeated a liberal prosecutor. If he is indicted, his base will be energized, he will bring in more campaign cash, and fellow Republicans will feel pressure to stand with him.
