Geoff Bennett:

The Trump campaign is swamping inboxes with fund-raising e-mails, offering T-shirts with fake mug shots, and raking in millions.

That is as Mr. Trump blasts the case and three other investigations that could eventually lead to additional charges.

And joining us now are two Republican strategists who are following all of this.

Whit Ayres is the president of North Star Opinion Research. He has consulted for Republicans, including Senators Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. And Doug Heye is with us. He's worked for the RNC and the George W. Bush administration.

With a welcome to you both, Whit, let's start with Mitt Romney's position here, because I find that to be really instructive and illuminating, because, rather than criticize Donald Trump for his alleged criminality, Mitt Romney, someone who twice voted for his impeachment, Donald Trump's impeachment, is effectively coming to his defense.

And even if you agree with him on the merits that this case is political, it really illustrates the inherent complexities Republicans have in trying to dethrone Donald Trump or move on from Donald Trump, if that's what they want to do.
