Donald Trump broke the news himself tonight on Truth Social: He is being indicted on charges related to his handling of classified documents.

Reaction across the Beltway and outside was swift. The common refrain from Democrats and Trump's opponents within the GOP was that nobody was above the law.

Michael Cohen, Trump's one-time fixer turned nemesis, had some words for his ex-boss too.

Rep. Jim Jordan called it a "sad day for America."

House Speaker Rep. Kevin McCarthy called it a "dark day" for the US, and said he stands with Trump in the face of these looming legal woes.

Sen. Josh Hawley worried about the state of the republic.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene seemed to have faith that Trump will "win in the end."

Rep. Matt Gaetz was also optimistic about Trump's chances of coming out on top in this second indictment.
