Trump's GOP rivals have equivocated on how to handle the historic nature of Trump's legal woes, with some who have attacked the DOJ only to later tone down their accusations and others who have placed the blame solely on Trump's shoulders.

“This day will go down in infamy, and Joe Biden will forever be remembered as not only the most corrupt president in the history of our country but, perhaps even more importantly, the president who, together with a band of his closest thugs, misfits, and Marxists, has tried to destroy American democracy," Trump told an audience of supporters at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club Tuesday evening."They will fail, and we will win bigger and better than ever before," he continued.

At first, rivals like former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley argued,"This is not how justice should be pursued in our country," in her first public comments on the indictments."The American people are exhausted by the prosecutorial overreach, double standards, and vendetta politics." Similarly, former Vice President Mike Pence at first said he hoped the DOJ wouldn't move forward on indicting Trump. When the indictment was announced last week Pence, called for transparency from Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Some 2024 rivals refused to come to Trump's aid, instead blaming the former president's inaction as the cause for his second indictment in recent months. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie put it bluntly during a CNN town hall event Monday evening."When did we get to the point we're always playing with our adversaries for the weakness of our candidates?" he asked.
