Republicans’ enduring fealty to Trump on display at conference after his indictment

Ex-president lashes out at prosecutors and tells conservative audience that his two indictments are a great badge of courage'

Republicans' enduring loyalty to Donald Trump was on vivid display at a conservative conference this weekend, convened just two weeks after the former president was indicted on 37 federal charges related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

Addressing this year's Road to Majority conference Saturday, Trump lashed out against federal prosecutors, who have accused the former president of intentionally withholding classified documents from authorities and obstructing justice in his efforts to keep those materials concealed. Trump, who could soon face additional charges in Washington and Georgia, told the friendly crowd that he considered each of his two indictments so far to be a great badge of courage" as he ran to unseat Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.
