Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) made his first public comments on the indictment of former President Donald Trump on Sunday, saying he was not rushing to discuss the indictment because it is still sealed.
Christie said the bold talk from the Trump team about the indictment is"bologna," adding he will be processed as every other indicted individual is while speaking on ABC's This Week. “All this bravado from the Trump camp is bologna. He’s going to be charged officially on Tuesday. He’s going to have to be mugshotted, fingerprinted and he’s going to face a criminal trial in Manhattan,” @GovChristie says. https://t.co/URjxfsEZdl pic.twitter.
“With Alvin Bragg, a elected prosecutor, Democrat, I wonder whether this is really increasing the public safety of the people of Manhattan by going after a seven-year-old charge for a hush money payment." "Unlike the European system where they say there’s a crime you must charge it. Here prosecutors are allowed to use their discretion that, 'I don’t think this is an appropriate use of my sources,'” Christie said.
