Republicans' Silence on Trump Indictment and Violent Rhetoric Raises Concerns.
TL;DR
Senate Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, have not rushed to defend former President Donald Trump following his 37-count indictment for mishandling classified documents. Some GOP leaders reportedly hope the charges will finally take him out of political power. Meanwhile, many House Republicans have claimed the charges are a witch hunt against the former president. Trump has said he will continue his 2024 run for the White House even if he is convicted in the classified documents case, and he also faces dozens of felony charges related to alleged business fraud in Manhattan.
