Republican Party insiders believe the Department of Justice will indict Trump after the midterms, a new report details.
Indicting Trump will potentially “end up helping the [former] president,” one of the sources suggested, as charges against him could galvanize Republican-aligned voters to support him more vociferously. Sources noted that this was the effect of the FBI’s search of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August, in which investigators retrieved government documents — many of which were highly classified — that Trump improperly removed from the White House.
While charges against Trump could potentially unite Republican-aligned voters, it’s unlikely that an indictment would move the general public to support him. Although Republicans rallied around Trump in the wake of the Mar-a-Lago search,barely moved at all, going from 40.1 percent favorability among the general public on July 31 to a 40.9 percent favorability rating on August 31.
DOJ prosecutors believe they already have enough evidence to charge Trump with a crime relating to his improper removal and storage of government documents.because he responded to a subpoena order earlier this year by affirming that he was no longer keeping classified documents at his home — a statement that was revealed to be a lie after the department found evidence of more than 100 additional classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, particularly in the run-up to and on the day of January 6, 2021, when a mob of his loyalists stormed the Capitol building. Trump could be indicted for crimes dating back to the start of his presidency, when he took actions that former Russia investigation special counsel Robert Mueller said. Trump has previously claimed that Mueller’s decision not to charge him — which was made because of longstanding DOJ policy not to charge a sitting president — exonerated him of any wrongdoing, a premise that Mueller soundly rejected in May of 2019.
