Trump's Indictment Weakens Republican Defenses and Divides the Party.
TL;DR Summary
The severity of the federal indictment against former President Donald Trump has made it difficult for some Republicans to defend him ahead of his arraignment on Tuesday. The indictment alleges that Trump mishandled classified information and tried to hide it from federal investigators. Some Republicans have focused on criticizing the prosecutor's decision to bring the case, while others have asserted a double standard between Trump and other politicians who faced investigations for their handling of classified material. Trump has called for his supporters to protest his arraignment, which is expected to draw a large crowd in Miami.
