Trump's Presence Looms Large at House Republican Retreat.

The annual GOP issues conference in Orlando has been overshadowed by the potential indictment of former President Trump in New York, with GOP leaders trying to keep focus on pressing policy questions. Trump's call for protests if he is arrested was rejected by Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who urged calmness and no violence. Republicans are keen to pivot to more well-worn talking points, highlighting crime in New York and supporting peaceful protests, while distancing themselves from potential political violence.
