Republicans Unite Behind Trump Amid Possible Indictment Threat

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and several MAGA Republicans rallied around Donald Trump on Saturday ahead of the former president's possible indictment by a Manhattan grand jury. Trump predicted that he would be arrested Tuesday and called on supporters to protest, citing "illegal leaks." Despite his recent strong comments slamming Trump over Jan. 6, former Vice President Mike Pence said the potential indictment “reeks of the kind of political prosecution that we endured back in the days of the Russia hoax.” The former president could soon face possible charges in the state related to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen is a key witness in the case.
