John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser, saidthat “as someone who very strongly does not want Donald Trump to get the Republican presidential nomination, I’m extraordinarily distressed” by the unsealed indictment.

Meanwhile, Sen. Mitt Romney — an opponent of Trump since the real estate mogul’s successful 2016 presidential campaign —saying: “I believe President Trump’s character and conduct make him unfit for office.”
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy , who last week vowed to hold Bragg “and his unprecedented abuse of power to account,” similarly tweeted on Tuesday that the “politicized charges” against Trump will be scrutinized by Congress.
