ABC This Week interviews for 2023 races: on Crime


Asa Hutchinson: Don't erode confidence in our entire criminal justice system

The important thing is that the grand jury found probable cause. And that's the standard for any criminal charges in our society. And the presumption of innocence follows you. And then there's a trial. And the termination of guilt or innocence. That's the American system. We don't want to erode confidence in our entire criminal justice system simply because we don't like the beginning parts of the case.

Mike Pence: Radical left responsible for NYC prosecution of Trump

I'm taken aback at the idea of indicting a former president of the United States at a time when there's a crime wave in New York City, the fact that the Manhattan D.A. thinks that indicting President Trump is his top priority I think just tells you everything you need to know about the radical left in this country. It just feels like a politically charged prosecution here. For my part, I just feel like it's just not what the American people want to see.
