Newsweek reached out for comment to Trump’s office via email on Monday night.

After news of the indictments emerged, the Trump campaign issued a statement accusing Willis of being a “rabid partisan” who “strategically stalled” her investigation of the ex-president as part of an overall Democratic Party plot to commit 2024 “election interference.”

Trump lawyers Drew Findling, Jennifer Little and Marissa Goldberg said in a statement that the events of Monday were “shocking and absurd,” arguing that Willis “clearly decided to force through and rush this 98-page indictment.”
