Asa Hutchinson\u2064 reacted to Trump&#8217;s third indictment over\u200d efforts \u2063to overturn the 2020 presidential\u200b election and\u2063 actions regarding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot by fundraising for his presidential \u200ccampaign.<\/p>\n<h3>Bidenomics: Why Biden\u2064 Gets \u2064Poor Ratings\u2063 on the Economy \u2064Despite Improving Numbers<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I have\u2064 always said that Donald Trump is morally responsible for the attack on our democracy,&#8221; Hutchinson said. &#8220;Now, with today\u2019s indictment,\u2062 our\u2062 system of Justice will determine \u200dwhether he is criminally responsible. Help me qualify for the debates.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump faces four new charges from the Justice Department: one \u2063count of conspiracy to defraud \u2062the United\u200c States, one count of conspiracy to obstruct an \u200cofficial proceeding, one count of obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding,\u200b and one count of conspiracy against rights.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200b45-page indictment\u2064 accuses \u200dTrump \u2063of attempting to remain in power after knowingly losing the 2020 presidential election. &#8220;For more than two months following election day on November 3, 2020, the \u200dDefendant spread lies that there\u2062 had been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-grand-jury-indicts-trump-over-alleged-efforts-to-overturn-election\/\" title=\"Trump indicted by Federal Grand Jury for alleged election interference.\">outcome-determinative fraud<\/a> in the election and that he had actually won,&#8221; the indictment states. &#8220;These claims were\u200d false, and the \u2064Defendant knew that they were false.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hutchinson faces an uphill battle to winning \u200bthe Republican nomination in 2024. He currently polls at 0.6%, according to the RealClearPolitics \u200cpolling average. The former governor has not yet achieved the 40,000 unique donors that\u2064 the Republican National Committee requires of any candidate who participates\u2064 in the first primary debate\u2064 on Aug. 23 in \u200dMilwaukee.\u200d Of those, the RNC requires at least 200 unique donors from 20-plus states and\/or territories.<\/p>\n<p>In early July, he told conservative \u2064host Hugh Hewitt that\u2062 he \u200bwasn&#8217;t there yet\u200c on the required donors. &#8220;We&#8217;re about 5,000.\u200c So we got, again, more work to do. We&#8217;ve got time to do it,&#8221; he said at\u200c the time. And at the Turning Point Action Conference, a \u200cconservative gathering of young people, in mid-July, the crowd booed him as he spoke \u200bwhile others headed for the door.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK \u200dHERE TO READ \u200dMORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hutchinson has previously slammed Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-indictment-asa-hutchinson-fundraises-off-trump-legal-woes\/\" title=\"Asa Hutchinson capitalizes on Trump's legal troubles for fundraising.\">previous legal problems<\/a>, including \u2062special counsel \u2064Jack Smith&#8217;s indictment of Trump over allegations \u200che \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-federal-charges-same-dominance-trump-hangs-on-to-front-runner-status\/\" title=\"Trump maintains front-runner status despite new federal charges.\">mishandled classified\u2062 documents<\/a> after leaving the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, he told ABC&#8217;s \u2064This Week, &#8220;I\u2019ve tried scores of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-andrew-p-napolitano-bush-guantanamo-and-the-rule-of-law\/\" title=\"Judge Andrew P.
