Former President Donald Trump is facing charges of mishandling classified documents in a federal court in Florida. However, Republicans in Congress are already mounting a defense against the Justice Department, with the goal of discrediting prosecutors and investigating the investigators. The GOP campaign to paint law enforcement and President Joe Biden as conspiring against Trump and his potential Republican nomination for president in 2024 ignores the substance of the charges brought by a grand jury in Florida. Republican lawmakers in the House have already laid extensive groundwork for the effort to defend Trump since taking the majority in January. However, Democrats say the Republicans are trafficking in conspiracy theories, with dangerous consequences. Despite their efforts, Republicans cannot control the outcome of Trump’s trial, and he is at great legal risk, potentially facing more indictments as prosecutors in Georgia and Washington investigate his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection. Furthermore, some Republicans maintain that the multiple indictments could help Trump improve his standing in polls of Republican voters and solidify the impression that the government is conspiring against him. But the word “weaponization” has taken root among Trump’s Republican allies, with nearly every GOP lawmaker and Trump’s legal team using the term, describing the charges as part of a broader effort to discredit the former president.
