TL;DR Summary

Several Republican presidential candidates have shifted their tone since the indictment of former President Donald Trump was unsealed on Friday, revealing the full extent of the serious charges he faces. The indictment filed by the office of special counsel Jack Smith alleges that Trump willfully withheld 31 classified documents from federal officials and obstructed justice in his efforts to conceal the materials. Some of those documents included highly sensitive government information on America’s nuclear programs, military vulnerabilities and planned responses in the event of a foreign attack. While some Republican candidates have criticized Trump's alleged behavior as a grave threat to national security, others continue to defend him and even call for a pardon if he is convicted.
