Invoking his own history as a federal prosecutor, Chris Christie said on CNN that the indictment was "very, very evidence-filled." | Charles Krupa/AP PhotoFormer New Jersey Gov.

Only one other Republican presidential hopeful, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, has defended the government’s case against Trump.
But Christie is convinced “the group will get larger as everyone gets an opportunity to absorb the facts.”
