GOP candidates say Trump charges ‘very serious,’ but float pardon
that the 37-count indictment against the former president was “very serious.”
Republican presidential primary candidates are split on the indictment of former President Donald Trump over improperly kept classified documents.“When you look at a pardon, the issue is less about guilt and more about what’s good for the country,” she told hosts Buck Sexton and Clay Travis. “And I think it would be terrible for the country to have a former president in prison for years because of a documents case … So I would be inclined in favor of a pardon.
Though almost all of Trump’s competitors are polling in the low single digits, they were more likely to insist the FBI and Justice Department need a shake-up than to castigate the 45th president. “I think millions of Americans are deeply troubled by this indictment, particularly given the fact that Hillary Clinton engaged in very similar behavior in the 2016 campaign and did not face indictment. And we’ve got to have equal treatment under the law in this country,” Pence also told The Journal.
