President Donald Trump has spent his week in a courtroom for the first-ever criminal trial against a former U.S. president, making headlines nationwide. Republicans in Congress would rather not talk about it.
In fact, Senate Republicans tell NOTUS they are simply not keeping up with Trump’s legal turmoils: They’re too busy, and the indictments are a sham, they said.
“I’m not paying attention to it,” Sen. John Barrasso said. “These are political trials; this is a political persecution against the former president by the current administration’s demands. They’re trying to win an election.”
