Trump set for first public appearances since federal indictment with speeches to GOP audiences -
Former Vice President Mike Pence also plans to address North Carolina Republicans, making it the first time that he and his former boss would have appeared at the same venue since Pence announced his own campaign this past week.
A Trump campaign official described the former president’s mood as “defiant” before the state visits. But aides were notably more reserved after the indictment’s unsealing as they reckoned with the gravity of the legal charges and the threat they pose to Trump beyond the potential short-term political gain.
Trump is due to make his first federal court appearance Tuesday in Miami. He was charged alongside Walt Nauta, a personal aide whom prosecutors say moved boxes from a storage room to Trump’s residence for him to review and later lied to investigators about the movement. A photograph included in the indictment shows several dozen file boxes stacked in a storage area.
Trump’s continued popularity among Republican voters is evident in how gingerly his primary rivals have treated the federal indictment. In remarks at the North Carolina GOP convention on Friday night, DeSantis didn’t mention Trump by name but again made the comparison to Clinton.
