WASHINGTON — A handful of Texas Republicans in Congress have energetically defended Donald Trump since the Justice Department accused him of mishandling classified documents he shouldn’t have kept after leaving the White House.
Far more have denounced the prosecution as a political hit job, without asserting the ex-president is innocent.
From many others, the silence has been deafening. They’ve avoided weighing in, either to defend or denounce him, ducking and ignoring questions.
