Trump indictment reaction from rivals range from offer of legal assistance to call to drop out of race
Fox News
Former President Trump's rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination react to his latest criminal indictment in Georgia.
Ahead of an indictment that accused the former president of "knowingly and willfully join[ing] a conspiracy" with a large group including some of his former top aides "to change the outcome of the election," Ramaswamy argued that the charges against the commanding front-runner in the 2024 GOP nomination race were "another disastrous Trump indictment."
Ramaswamy, who has vocally blasted the previous indictments against Trump, claimed that "it's downright pathetic that Fulton County publicly posted the indictment on its website even before the grand jury had finished convening. Since the four prosecutions against Trump are using novel & untested legal theories, it’s fair game for him to do the same in defense: immediately file a motion to dismiss for a constitutional due process violation for publicly issuing an indictment before the grand jury had actually signed one. He should make a strong argument on these grounds & it would send a powerful message to the ever-expansive prosecutorial police state."
