Republican lawmakers on April 4 reacted to the unveiling of 34 felony charges against former President Donald Trump with condemnation, with one Congresswoman calling the move “unprecedented and chilling.”
At an arraignment hearing in Manhattan, 34 class E felony charges, the least serious type of felony in New York state, were announced against Trump for allegedly falsifying business records. Trump, appearing somber and stoic during the court appearance, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
