Mike Lee and Mitt Romney offered starkly different opinions of Thursday’s news that a federal grand jury indicted former President Donald Trump for his handling of sensitive materials at his Florida home.

The former president is “entitled to the presumption of innocence,” Romney said in a statement Friday morning, while the federal government has the “burden of proving its charges beyond a reasonable doubt and securing a unanimous verdict by a South Florida jury.”
