Sen. Joe Manchin speaks during a news conference, March 7, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. | Mariam Zuhaib/AP PhotoFormer President Donald Trump’s conservative defenders in Congress were not exactly front and center on Sunday, as rank-and-file Republicans tap-danced around his looming arraignment and gently distanced themselves from Trump’s Ukraine and entitlement policies.
As Trump will likely face charges over his handling of hush money payments to an adult film star, Cassidy repeated the same phrase as Manchin nearly word-for-word: “No one should be above the law, but no one should be a target of the law.” “We control the power of the purse, and we’re going to look at the appropriations process and limit funds going to some of these agencies, particularly the ones engaged in the most egregious behavior,” Jordan said. He called the Bragg case “ridiculous.”
If there was a memorable moment over the weekend within the GOP, it may be former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s announcement of a 2024 president campaign. He immediately called on Trump to drop out of the race amid the indictment, a call even Trump’s latest campaign rival admitted would be summarily ignored.
