(Breitbart) Republicans defended former President Donald Trump after the Justice Department handed down news of an indictment Thursday evening.
“The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax,” Trump posted on Truth Social, “even though Joe Biden has 1850 Boxes at the University of Delaware, additional Boxes in Chinatown, D.C., with even more Boxes at the University of Pennsylvania.
”Karoline Leavitt, spokeswoman for Make America Great Again Inc., slammed the Biden administration for indicting Trump to prevent losing in 2024:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) slammed the indictment as an attempt to distract voters from “the millions of dollars in bribes that the Biden Crime Family received from foreign nationals”:
The phony Boxes Hoax indictment is an attempt to distract the American public from the millions of dollars in bribes that the Biden Crime Family received from foreign nationals.
This scheme won’t succeed. President Donald Trump will be back in the White House and Joe Biden will…

Donald Trump Jr. said the DOJ interfered in the 2024 election:
Biden’s corrupt DOJ is openly interfering in the 2024 presidential election to stop Trump because they know Biden can’t beat him in a fair race. That’s what this is really all about and everyone knows it.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) released a statement noting the indictment was released on the same day damning allegations flooded the media about President Joe Biden and an alleged bribery scheme:
Sean Parnell said the indictment shows how corrupt American institutions are:
Very sad day in America. Yet another political hit job trotted out by the Biden Administration & institutions totally corrupted at the top by the radical left.
Sickening to watch how far America has fallen. Pray for President Trump & his family. https://t.co/hzSYcClVGA

Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren ripped the indictment as Biden’s 2024 campaign strategy:
If you’re wondering how Biden is going to get away with reelection from the basement, with refusing to debate, with refusing to campaign at all..you just got your answer. Another Trump indictment. Joe sits back and his minions in FBI, CIA and DOJ do the dirty work.
