WASHINGTON — The indictment of former President Donald Trump drew an array of reactions from lawmakers in battleground districts: Some lashed out at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, some expressed confidence in the legal process and some simply kept quiet.
Like some of their other House GOP colleagues, Republicans representing New York battleground districts accused Bragg of politicizing his approach to the job for seeking a grand jury indictment of Trump rather than fighting other crime in New York City.
Trump was under investigation for his role in paying hush money to a porn star ahead of his 2016 election and is reportedly set to be arraigned on Tuesday. The indictment remains sealed.
