Republican Congressmen Declare "War" in Response to Trump Indictment

Republican lawmakers in Congress have been preparing for months to defend former President Donald Trump against charges of mishandling classified documents, which were brought by a grand jury in Florida. The GOP strategy is to discredit the prosecutors and investigate the investigators, while fostering a broader argument that law enforcement and President Joe Biden are conspiring against Trump. Democrats say the Republicans are trafficking in conspiracy theories, with potentially dangerous consequences. Trump is at great legal risk, no matter what the public believes, under two indictments and potentially more as prosecutors in Georgia and Washington investigate his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
