House Democrat leadership staff have reportedly been telling offices that they do not have to weigh in on former President Donald Trump’s indictment, as one member said there is a “high risk” of him “becoming a victim.”
Despite there being some Democrats who were overjoyed at Trump being arraigned on Tuesday, Axios reported that a Democratic leadership aide said, “House Democratic leadership staff has been counseling offices that there’s no expectation for them to weigh in publicly.”
