The most serious charges against the former president carry potential prison sentences of up to 20 years each.
despite his mounting legal woes. He planned to speak to a Republican audience in North Carolina later Saturday.
"Trump is a fighter, and the kinds of people that attend these conventions love a fighter," said Jack Kingston, a former Georgia congressman who supported Trump's White House campaigns in 2016 and 2020. The indictment arrives at a time when Trump is continuing to dominate the primary race. Other candidates have largely attacked the Justice Department — rather than Trump — for the investigation. But the indictment’s breadth of allegations and scope could make it harder for Republicans to rail against these charges compared with an earlier New York criminal case that many legal analysts had derided as weak.
The indictment includes 31 counts that pertain to the willful retention of national defense information. The others relate to alleged conspiracy, obstruction and false statements. But among the various investigations he has faced, the documents case has long been considered the most perilous threat and the one most ripe for prosecution.
"A former president of the United States facing an unprecedented indictment by a Justice Department run by the current president of the United States and a potential political rival," Pence said to loud applause. Pence said it was important to hear Trump's defense, "then each of us can make our own judgment. ... Be patient. Know that we will soon know the facts."
