🔁 These early reactions to the former president's indictment are familiar.
◉ Monday's indictment of former President Donald Trump and several allies in Georgia on charges related to their effort to overturn the 2020 election make Trump's fourth — and probably final — criminal proceeding ahead of the 2024 presidential election. (He remains the prohibitive favorite for the Republican nomination to face President Joe Biden next year.)
◉ The Maine congressional delegation's early reactions to the charges are very familiar. Sen. Angus King, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, declined to comment on the charges, while Rep. Jared Golden, a Democrat from the Trump-friendly 2nd District, issued the same exact statement that he has released after every Trump indictment so far.
◉ "No one is above the law," he said. "Our legal system is built upon the principle of innocence until proven guilty and we should let the process play out without bias or political interference." |
