WASHINGTON — Texas Sen. John Cornyn says it’s time for the Republican party to dump former President Donald Trump and his destined-to-fail bid for a White House return.
But Cornyn also has attacked the criminal charges against Trump for alleged mishandling of classified documents as the result of a politically motivated double standard.
His approach reflects the tricky path leading Senate Republicans must navigate as they try to push Trump aside without enraging a party base filled with his ardent supporters.
