Some Republican contenders for the 2024 presidential nomination took former President Donald Trump to task for his third indictment in four months — this time over his effort to overturn the 2020 election — while others blasted the Justice Department’s actions.
Former Vice President Mike Pence took a strong stance after the four-count indictment accusing his former boss of making “knowingly false” claims of voter fraud in a desperate bid to stay in power.
“Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States,” Pence tweeted.

“On January 6th, Former President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will.”
Chris Christie, Trump’s one-time ally who has become one of his biggest hecklers in the crowded GOP field, called the latest charges “a stain on our country’s history.”
“The events around the White House from election night forward are a stain on our country’s history & a disgrace to the people who participated,” the former New Jersey governor tweeted.
“This disgrace falls the most on Donald Trump.
