Chris Christie Says He Found Trump Indictment Devastating
Chris Christie, the former Republican governor of New Jersey who is now running for president, called the facts in the indictment against his former ally Donald J. Trump devastating, and said that the small group of Republicans now critical of the former presidents conduct would grow.
Mr. Christie, appearing on CNN Friday evening, refuted point-by-point the claim by Mr. Trump and many of his fellow Republicans that the indictment represented selective, partisan prosecution that would unnecessarily divide the country.
The indictment would divide the nation, he said, but Mr. Trump had brought that on himself with poor conduct that was completely self-inflicted.
