On Thursday evening, Connecticut politicians found themselves reacting to more national news: a criminal indictment by a federal grand jury against former President Donald Trump.
Two Democratic U.S. Senators from Connecticut, Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, are asking Americans to let the legal process play out, while some state Republican leaders are accusing Democrats of targeting the former president.
"We haven't even seen the charges yet," Murphy said Friday. "So I think it's pretty incredible that some of my colleagues believe they're clairvoyant and they can judge the president's innocence before they've even seen what the charges are."
