ARIZONA, USA — A lawyer for Donald Trump said Thursday he's been told that the former president has been indicted in New York on charges involving payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign to silence claims of an extramarital sexual encounter.

Shortly after the announcement, Arizona politicians took to social media to share their reaction to the historic news.

They just indicted President Trump.

Unfortunately for them, this will only make him. stronger. I didn’t think I could possibly support him more, but this political Witch Hunt only strengthens our resolve to fight.

Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar (R)

This is third world politics from a Soros DA who needs to be investigated. This is clear and brazen political persecution.

I proudly stand with Donald J. Trump.

Former Arizona Attorney General candidate Abe Hamadeh (R)

Today marks a dark turning point in our nation’s moral fabric. Our legal system was created to provide justice — not weaponized to punish political opponents. Where law ends, tyranny begins.

In America we believe in the rule of law.

We should wait to hear from the grand jury before jumping to conclusions.

Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva (D)

Donald Trump has a long history of breaking the law: shady business practices, a fake university, stiffing workers out of their hard-earned pay, sketchy foreign business profiteering, hush money payments, and his most heinous crime, attempting to overthrow our democracy. 1/2
