Chris Christie slams Trump, accuses him of using campaign as a shield for indictments.
GOP Presidential Candidate Chris Christie Slams Trump’s Claims About Georgia Indictment
In a fiery interview with Fox News, Chris Christie, a candidate for the GOP presidential nomination, strongly criticized former President Donald Trump’s assertion that the recent Georgia indictment against him was strategically timed for his campaign. Christie accused Trump of wanting to “have his cake and eat it too.”
Three Key Revelations from the Georgia Indictment Against Donald Trump
“If she had charged him three years ago, he would have said, ‘What a rush to judgment, there’s been no investigation, no one’s looked into this, and now they are just charging me for political reasons,'” Christie remarked, referring to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
Trump has been highly critical of Willis and her investigation into his attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. On Monday night, a grand jury indicted Trump and 18 others on 41 counts, including a violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
Prior to the indictment, Trump took to his new social media platform, Truth Social, to question the timing of the charges, suggesting they were a “fake case” brought to interfere with the election. However, Christie disagrees with this narrative.
“Look, running for president is his choice. No one else is making him do it, but it is not an excuse for the justice system to stop functioning,” Christie argued.
It’s worth noting that Trump is currently facing three other criminal cases. Two are at the federal level, one involving classified documents and the other related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021, riots. The third case is being pursued by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, which has charged Trump with falsifying business records during the 2016 campaign.
