Chris Christie promised he'd be coming for former president Donald Trump, and the federal indictment unsealed last week gave him the fuel to hit the ground running.
As many Republicans offered muted defenses or avoided the topic of Trump's legal woes, Christie made frequent appearances on cable news shows in the last few days and spent a good portion of a 90-minute CNN town hall attacking Trump on the eve of his arraignment.
Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, called Trump a "loser," a "child," and angry, vengeful, and sad at the Monday night town hall. He told moderator Anderson Cooper he's convinced that if Trump returns to the White House, "the next four years will be all about him settling scores." (Christie argued he would be a fighter for Americans if he was elected president).
