Trump supporters ‘kind of tired’ of indictments – but still keen to cash in

Republicans and rightwing commentators line up to condemn prosecution - though Pence dissents and DeSantis avoids using Donald Trump's name

It's the third time Donald Trump has been arraigned this year, even as he is the only former US president in history to face criminal charges. Each time, Trump and his supporters, as well as detractors, have moved to gain from his time in court.

Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday in a Washington federal court to three counts of conspiracy and one count of obstruction in a plot to subvert the results of the 2020 election. He similarly denied his guilt in March over hush money payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, and then in June for illegally hoarding classified documents at his Florida resort.
