The most recent indictment against Donald Trump doesn’t seem to have changed the opinions of G.O.P. higher-ups or right-wing media figures, JohnCassidy writes.

, on Tuesday evening, McCarthy described the latest indictment as “an attempt to distract” from the recent news about President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, whose former business partner testified before a congressional committee on Monday. “House Republicans will continue to uncover the truth about Biden Inc. and the two-tiered system of justice,” McCarthy wrote.in the G.O.P. primary, repeated a favorite talking point of Trump’s without directly mentioning his name.

Pence’s remarks were particularly notable because he is the only Republican candidate, apart from Trump himself, who is likely to feature in a Trump trial. The special counsel’s charging document mentions the former Vice-President repeatedly, and it describes in detail how Trump, in the run-up to, 2021, pressured Pence, in the latter’s role as the presiding officer of the Senate, to refuse to certify the results of the 2020 election—requests that Pence rebuffed.

These remarks appear to have irked the former President. On Wednesday afternoon, Trump mocked Pence in a post on the Web site Truth Social, writing, “I feel badly for Mike Pence, who is attracting no crowds, enthusiasm, or loyalty from people who, as a member of the Trump Administration, should be loving him.”
