Christie had tweeted about the indictment on Thursday night, before it had been unsealed. He appeared to warn people to be cautious when reading information posted on Trumps Truth Social account and emphasized the importance of waiting for the facts.

We dont get our news from Trumps Truth Social account. Lets see what the facts are when any possible indictment is released.

Their heads must ache painfully from never ending think tank sessions in white walled rooms trying to figure out how to cover up everyones crimes because their web of crimes and corruption are so intricately weaved together while they contort their minds to come up with never ending fake crimes from fake accusations as they harass innocent people any where in or near the Trump orbit, she tweeted on Friday night.

The Republican also took a moment to reference an investigation that found classified documents at President Joe Biden home among other examples as a means of highlighting what she called the biggest hypocrisy in modern day history.

Last night, Boebert echoed sentiments that Trump has previously shared on his social media platform Truth Social, tweeting that the former president is an innocent man caught in a witch hunt.

This sham indictment has proven once and for all that there is no low these people wont stoop to to stop Trump! she tweeted on Thursday night.
She later posted similar rhetoric to that of other Republican lawmakers, that Trump is being indicted for something that no one else would be charged for.

The federal government has indicted President Trump for a crime that no one else would have been tried for, she tweeted. The weaponization of our government is totally out of control and we need to do everything in our power to bring it under control!

Her comments on the indictment carried into Friday morning, in a tweet where she referenced President Joe Bidens son Hunter Biden and the controversy surrounding his laptop.

The same folks that are feverishly going after Trump have had Hunter Biden's revolting laptop for years and years NO ARREST YET! What am I missing here? Boebert tweeted on Friday morning.","source":"","title":"Lauren Boebert Weighs In Multiple Times On Indictment","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"634475bce4b028164537c257","fullName":"Shruti Rajkumar","bio":{"text":"Shruti Rajkumar is a reporter at HuffPost, covering breaking news, politics, race and disability.","microText":"Reporter"},"urls":{"twitter":"shruti_rajkumar"},"urlName":{"text":"shruti-rajkumar","transliterated":"shruti-rajkumar"},"profileUrl":{"name":"648007822800005a0084d931","ops":"","ext":"jpg"}},"firstPublishedAt":"2023-06-09T18:01:20.43Z","lastPublishedAt":"2023-06-09T18:01:20.43Z","formattedFirstPublishedAt":"Jun 9, 2023, 2:01 PM EDT"},"social":{},"orientation":"horizontal","thumbnail":{"url":{"fileName":"default-entry.jpg","type":"hectorUrl"},"credit":"","ops":""},"textWrap":"wrapped","imagePositionInUnit":null,"imagePositionInSubUnit":null,"authors":[{"authorData":{"id":"634475bce4b028164537c257","fullName":"Shruti Rajkumar","slug":"shruti-rajkumar","headshot":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/648007822800005a0084d931.jpg","queryParams":{},"width":400,"height":400,"credit":"","ops":""},"socialAccounts":{},"title":"","links":{"permalink":"https://action.news/author/shruti-rajkumar"}}}],"isLiveblogSlide":false},"provider":null},{"embedData":"

  • A federal grand jury has indicted Trump on criminal charges, this time for removing top-secret documents from the White House, bringing them to his Mar-a-Lago social club in South Florida and refusing to return them. Its his second indictment in just over two months.
  • A U.S. district judge appointed by Trump will reportedly oversee the case.
  • Republicans have rushed to defend Trump, with several claiming that President Joe Biden ordered the special counsel overseeing the matter to bring charges, even though theres no evidence of that.
  • Trump valet Walt Nauta, who was seen on surveillance video moving boxes believed to contain classified documents, has reportedly also been indicted.
  • Even with two indictments against him and the possibility of jail time Trump can still run for the presidency.

Trusty appeared on CNN Thursday evening to defend Trump and criticize the DOJ.

Trump addressed the changes to his legal team Friday morning.

For purposes of fighting the Greatest Witch Hunt of all time, now moving to the Florida Courts, I will be represented by Todd Blanche, Esq., and a firm to be named later, Trump wrote on his Truth Social site. I want to thank Jim Trusty and John Rowley for their work, but they were up against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil, and 'sick' group of people, the likes of which has not been seen before.

Blanche, a criminal defense lawyer, was previously hired by Trump to fight the criminal charges hes facing in Manhattan over alleged hush money payments.

During the interview, Pence compared Trumps actions with his own handling of classified documents, which were found at his Indiana home in January. Last week, the Justice Department told the former vice president it would not be pursuing criminal charges against him.

We fully cooperated with the Justice Department. I took full responsibility, and Im pleased the Justice Department concluded that investigation last week, found that it was an innocent mistake, said Pence, who is running against Trump for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024. But it was a mistake. We have to protect our nations secrets.

Pence continued: And my only hope is as we learn about the facts of this indictment next week, that the American people will see in this case that it would meet a high standard necessary to justify the unprecedented federal indictment of a former president of the United States by the current president of the United States Justice Department, and by a potential rival.

Pence previously warned the Justice Department against charging Trump in the documents case, arguing that doing so would be terribly divisive.

He stood by that argument during his interview with Hewitt, saying the indictment sends a divisive message across the country and a terrible message across the wider world. He also vowed to clean house at the Justice Department if elected president.","source":"","title":"Pence Reacts","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"557703b9e4b09499c4202e27","userId":"557703b9e4b09499c4202e26","fullName":"Mollie Reilly","bio":{"text":"Mollie Reilly is HuffPost's managing editor of breaking news.

The Florida governor also said that there has been an uneven application of the law based on political affiliation, name-dropping 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and President Joe Bidens son Hunter as examples.

Clinton was extensively investigated for her use of a personal e-mail server while she was secretary of state, but no persuasive evidence of systemic, deliberate mishandling of classified information was found. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden was recently investigated for allegedly failing to file his taxes in 2016 and 2017 and wrongfully claiming $30,000 in deductions for business-related expenses.

Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter? DeSantis said in his tweet.

He continued: The DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all.","source":"","title":"Ron DeSantis Calls Out Indictment: The 'Weaponization Of Federal Law Enforcement' Is A 'Mortal Threat'","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"634475bce4b028164537c257","fullName":"Shruti Rajkumar","bio":{"text":"Shruti Rajkumar is a reporter at HuffPost, covering breaking news, politics, race and disability.","microText":"Reporter"},"urls":{"twitter":"shruti_rajkumar"},"urlName":{"text":"shruti-rajkumar","transliterated":"shruti-rajkumar"},"profileUrl":{"name":"648007822800005a0084d931","ops":"","ext":"jpg"}},"firstPublishedAt":"2023-06-09T02:33:03.891Z","lastPublishedAt":"2023-06-09T02:33:03.891Z","formattedFirstPublishedAt":"Jun 8, 2023, 10:33 PM EDT"},"social":{},"orientation":"horizontal","thumbnail":{"url":{"fileName":"default-entry.jpg","type":"hectorUrl"},"credit":"","ops":""},"textWrap":"wrapped","imagePositionInUnit":null,"imagePositionInSubUnit":null,"authors":[{"authorData":{"id":"634475bce4b028164537c257","fullName":"Shruti Rajkumar","slug":"shruti-rajkumar","headshot":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/648007822800005a0084d931.jpg","queryParams":{},"width":400,"height":400,"credit":"","ops":""},"socialAccounts":{},"title":"","links":{"permalink":"https://action.news/author/shruti-rajkumar"}}}],"isLiveblogSlide":false},"provider":null},{"embedData":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg","queryParams":{},"credit":""},"type":"image","common":{"id":"64828787e4b027d92f8bc28f","caption":"The U.S. Secret Service and members of Donald Trumps staff will meet Friday to discuss details regarding his planned courthouse appearance Tuesday, according to NBC News, which cited a Secret Service official.

Some expressed support and sympathy for the former president after hearing of his indictment.

Sad day for America. God Bless President Trump, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) tweeted.

When asked about Trumps indictment, 2024 presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) told Fox News that he will continue to pray that justice prevails.

We look at every case based on evidence in America, Scott said, according to NBC News. Every person is presumed innocent, not guilty, and what weve seen over the last several years is the weaponization of the Department of Justice against the former president.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) also spoke out in support of Trump and dragged President Joe Bidens name into it.

It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades, McCarthy tweeted.

He continued: I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump against this grave injustice. House Republicans will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.

Meanwhile, GOP 2024 presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson denounced Trumps actions, emphasizing that the former president should end his campaign.

While Donald Trump is entitled to the presumption of innocence, the ongoing criminal proceedings will be a major distraction, Hutchinson said in the statement. This reaffirms the need for Donald Trump to respect the office and end his campaign.\"

Others took it upon themselves to resurface the former president's dicey past, including his two impeachments and a prior indictment in New York.

The former twice-impeached president is now twice-indicted, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) tweeted, referencing Trumps indictment in March by the federal grand jury in New York City in connection with payments of hush money to Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 presidential election.

\"For four years, he acted like he was above the law. But he should be treated like any other lawbreaker. And today, he has been, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) tweeted.","source":"","title":"Democrats and Republicans Have A Lot To Say About Trumps Indictment","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"634475bce4b028164537c257","fullName":"Shruti Rajkumar","bio":{"text":"Shruti Rajkumar is a reporter at HuffPost, covering breaking news, politics, race and disability.","microText":"Reporter"},"urls":{"twitter":"shruti_rajkumar"},"urlName":{"text":"shruti-rajkumar","transliterated":"shruti-rajkumar"},"profileUrl":{"name":"648007822800005a0084d931","ops":"","ext":"jpg"}},"firstPublishedAt":"2023-06-09T01:53:30.626Z","lastPublishedAt":"2023-06-09T01:53:30.626Z","formattedFirstPublishedAt":"Jun 8, 2023, 9:53 PM EDT"},"social":{},"orientation":"horizontal","thumbnail":{"url":{"fileName":"default-entry.jpg","type":"hectorUrl"},"credit":"","ops":""},"textWrap":"wrapped","imagePositionInUnit":null,"imagePositionInSubUnit":null,"authors":[{"authorData":{"id":"634475bce4b028164537c257","fullName":"Shruti Rajkumar","slug":"shruti-rajkumar","headshot":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/648007822800005a0084d931.jpg","queryParams":{},"width":400,"height":400,"credit":"","ops":""},"socialAccounts":{},"title":"","links":{"permalink":"https://action.news/author/shruti-rajkumar"}}}],"isLiveblogSlide":false},"provider":null},{"embedData":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg","queryParams":{},"credit":""},"type":"image","common":{"id":"648280bbe4b048eb910e1ba7","caption":"The fact that the indictment was filed in U.S. District Court in Miami, not in Washington, D.C., where most of the investigation took place, is a notable shift. The New York Times reported that prosecutors are not able to choose any court theyd like to charge a defendant but rather must select the venue that has a strong connection to a case.

The specific charges Trump faces are under seal and wont be made public until he is formally arraigned, but reports earlier this month that a grand jury had been convened in Florida signaled federal prosecutors were looking to try any case there. He is expected to surrender in Miami next Tuesday, according to multiple news outlets.

A pool of jurors from Washington would be more likely to include left-leaning members, while South Florida is more likely to have a pool that includes more Republicans, although lawyers will be able to conduct a screening to try to assemble an impartial group.","source":"","title":"Why Was Trump Indicted In Florida And Not Washington, D.C.?","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"54bdcf0be4b066e7701b60f2","userId":"54bdcf0be4b066e7701b60f1","fullName":"Nick Visser","bio":{"text":"Nick Visser is a senior reporter on HuffPosts breaking news team, covering the environment, U.S. politics and world news.

Key Things To Know Friday Evening

  • The indictment against Trump was unsealed Friday afternoon, revealing 37 felony federal charges related to his handling of classified documents after his term in the White House ended.
  • It includes several photos of documents stored around Trumps Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, including one showing boxes of documents stacked next to a toilet and others showing boxes in a storage room with multiple outside access points.
  • Special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the investigation, spoke at a press conference following the indictments release, saying : Our laws that protect national defense information are critical to the safety and security of the United States, and they must be enforced.
  • Following the indictments release, Trump posted on his Truth Social site that he didnt know he couldnt take documents with him from the White House. Nobody said I wasnt allowed to look at the personal records that I brought with me from the White House, he wrote. Theres nothing wrong with that."
