arraignment his 2024 republican rivals have fallen into three main camps. there are the ones who shame, the ones who blame, and well, the ones who have simply evolved. so we will start there. on friday after the indictment nikki haley took on the justice department accusing prosecutors of overreach and vendetta politics. but this week she and others are noticeably changing their tune. >> if this indictment is true, if what it says is actually the case, president trump was incredibly reckless with our national security. >> i'd hoped the department of justice would see its way clear to resolve these issues with the former president without moving forward with charges, and i'm deeply troubled to see this indictment move forward. >> i had the chance to review the indictment over the weekend, and this indictment contains serious charges. and i cannot defend what is alleged. >> today what we see is a
and the dust is still settling on the political landscape just a day after former president trump's historic court appearance. the big question now is will his mounting legal troubles get in the way of his 2024 hopes? i'm back now with chris wallace, host of "who's talking with chris wallace." so, chris, you spoke to former republican california governor arnold shwarzenegger about the charges facing trump. what did he have to say? >> well, he is no trump supporter. and in fact, after january 6th he compared what had happened, the insurrection at the capitol to what's called when nazi sympathizers went after the jews in 1938. and so i asked him about the indictment, about donald trump and the fact that so many republicans are siding with trump against the justice department. take a look.
on the other hand, i think one of the arguments that some of the challengers are making, people like chris christie and particular since 2016 and his surprise win in that election, donald trump led to the loss of the house in 2018, lost the presidency in 2020, lost the senate and had very disappointing results in the 2022 mid-terms. so, you know, one of the arguments that you can make against trump without taking the side of the justice department is rightly or wrongly he's got a lot of baggage, and is he going to win? and do you want to take the chance on nominating one of the few people who i think republicans feel of this field could actually lose to joe biden? >> yeah, i mean, i think that at this point republican voters seem to be kind of dismissing those concerns about trump's electability at least so far. but you also -- i mean you interviewed trump. you've hosted debates very
of like good parenting, criticize the act not the child. but even more than that, they very much are putting tabs on if true -- and you take a case like nikki haley who has gradually toughened up. and she said most recently that this is incredibly reckless with our national security, but she also said that she'd be inclined to pardon the former president inengaged in what she calls incredibly reckless behavior. so, look, it's just a tough nut. and i think, you know, for the feeling of a lot of these people it's the old adage if your opponent is digging a hole, don't stop him and don't get in the way. and they're kind of hoping to the degree that this indictment and the charges are going to hurt donald trump, that it'll be the justice department and the facts of the case and they don't have to get their hands dirty and tick off a lot of trump
that vote. >> to not carry out a censure would be a miscarriage of justice and a dereliction of our sworn duty as members of the house of representatives. we must preserve the integrity of the u.s. house of representatives and censure adam schiff today. >> and joining me now is republican political strategist sarah michael singleton, who's already chuckling before i even ask the question. by my count he's facing 13 federal charges, and just the cherry on top here is that santos voted present in the ethics committee on -- >> after all of that throwing his hands back in the air, look, i agree with republican congressman thomas massey out of kentucky on the constitutionality of this particular vote. article 1, section 9 of the u.s. constitution prohibits bills of attainment. for the audience's sake, that
welcome to a special edition of "cnn tonight." and we begin with the art of the deal that never was. tonight "the washington post" reports that donald trump rejected efforts by his lawyers to cut a deal with the justice department to avoid his second arrest in just ten weeks. "the post" reports that one of his attorneys, floated the idea of quietly approaching the feds last fall to take the temperature down on the classified documents case and to try to find a way to avoid charging the former president, but that never materialized because trump listened to other advisers and pundits pushing him to take a much more aggressive approach. now, cnn reported last fall that trump had conservative activist tom fitten in his ear telling him that returning records to the archives was a mistake. and so now as a result of all of that, trump faces 37 criminal counts for allegedly keeping and hiding those documents and of course obstructing the investigation.
