We’re not going to concentrate on Donald Trump’s legal issues.”

” It was truly the most incredible part of the argument to me, was the concept that, you understand, most of my rivals think that you can have a founded guilty felon as our candidate for president which they ‘d support that which he might win,” Christie stated. “I believe that’s an impossibility.”
Hutchinson, who is likewise a regular critic of Trump, echoed Christie.
” Well, I was shocked. It was a really clear concern regarding whether we would support Donald Trump if he’s founded guilty of major felonies. And I was the only one that … stated really plainly that I would not support him,” Hutchinson stated in an interview Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I was amazed at that. That didn’t appear to be a tough concern to me.”
Meanwhile, a lawyer for Trump rejected that his group has issues over the installing criminal charges, which it has actually dismissed as a political hit task.
