Albuquerque, April 4 — Today, former President Donald Trump voluntarily surrendered himself to Manhattan authorities to hear his indictment charges and formally respond to them.

Republican Party of New Mexico and former Congressman Steve Pearce issued the following statement:

"The charges released today only add more questions about the credibility of this indictment. No new information was given in the unsealed documents.

Many Democrats have criticized this case for lack of credibility and condemned the biased judicial system in New York. This indictment sets a dangerous precedent for the future of the nation. If a former chief executive officer of the United States can be arrested on dubious charges, the same thing can happen to others.
