Trump’s 2016 and 2020 election victories in the region have reinforced the region’s reputation as a Republican stronghold in eastern Washington and Oregon.
According to reports, A political expert discusses the regional and national ramifications of Trump’s indictment on 34 criminal charges related to an alleged hush money scamโaย day after the former president was formally charged, whether sufficient proof of these claims remains essential.
“The president’s lawyers, in all their talks about why they think, at least in their estimation, that this is a bogus charge or set of charges, is that as a public figure and as someone who has a reputation and an organization and a family to protect,” said Dr. Brian Calfano.
“The Trump camp, if you’re to follow the prosecutor’s thinking on this… should have apparently said, ‘Well, we’re not going to pay any kind of hush money.
We’re not going to do any sort of response that may end up looking like we’re trying to circumvent campaign finances laws,’ when in reality, this is maybe something that they’ve done in a variety of circumstances with Trump and his personal life over the years.”
