president to face federal criminal charges. >> president donald j. trump. >> this morning, a defiant former president trump hitting the campaign trails speaking out publicly for the first type since the justice department unsaled its extra -- unsealed it is extraordinary indictment accusing him of mishandling sensitive government secrets. >> as far as the joke of an indictment, it's a horrible thing. it's a horrible thing for this country. i mean, the only good thing about it is it's driven my poll numbers way up. >> after a seven month investigation by independent special council jack smith, the 49 page indictment alleges trump endeavors to obstruct the fbi and grand jury investigation was and conceal his retention of classified documents on tianaing information on the united states nuclear programs and defense and weapons capabilities of both the united states and foreign countries. some of those documents

allegedly strewn in boxes across trump's florida estate in a bedroom, ballroom, and bathroom. >> our laws that protect national defense information are critical. the safety and security of the united states and they must be enforced. violations of those laws put our country at risk. >> the indictment uses tram's own words in 2016 as a presidential candidate against him. >> in my administration accident i'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. no one will be above the law. >> but now trump and other 2024gop presidential contenders are decrying that claim american judicial system and cam tiana stops this weekend, florida governor ron desantis and former vice president mike pence attacking the justice department instead of trump himself.

>> attorney general merrick garland, stop hiding behind the special council and stand before the american people and explain why this indictment went forward. >> loyal trump voters from north carolina tell us they're a little undeterred by the former president's litany of legal woes. >> they come out and the indictment was there and we're not going anywhere. >> it's not going to hurt him, people that trust him and believe in him, this isn't going to change our minds. >> we spoke about a dozen gop voters here and many refusing to read the justice departments indictment calling it fabricated and fake. former president trump long maintained he did nothing wrong. gio. >> elizabeth, we reported former president trump faces an arraignment on tuesday but also this week president biden will be out for political rally. >> gio, president biden will attack the rally since launching the reelection bid in april and the president stayed quiet on trump's indictment refusing to

comment and reiterating the independence of the justice department. >> elizabeth schulze there. thank you. prep races are already well underway and abc senior investigative reporter is outside the courthouse in miami. aaron, good morning to you. >> good morning. the u.s. secret service is final finalizing president trump's arrive value here on tuesday and he'll be fingerpri fingerprinted photographed and probably not police are on alert in case any oturu f supporters act out on trump's behalf and extra officers available to handle any protoasts and the plan as of now is to keep trump out of public view while here. his case is assigned to a judge

he appointed in a court known for moving quickly but a hallmark of trump's legal strategy has been delay. this morning trump is working to secure legal reputation after two attorneys that were handling this case resigned. the charges that the former president faces are punishable in theory by decades in prison. but even if he's convicted with the former president said he will not withdraw from the race for the white house telling reporters, i'll never leave. whit. >> that's what he's saying, the former president, aaron, thank you so much. let's break all this down now with abc deputy political director avery and legal contributor kate shaw. good morning to you both this morning. avery, i want to start with you because there's no polling out this morning on former president trump's favorability with voters and the poll was conducted after the indictment was announced and appears to show good news for trump. >> when you look at latest abc news ipso poll, we find the

number of americans that view trump favorably has gone up and the number of americans viewing him unfavorably has gone down and before the first indictment, trumped arminged that criminal charged could boost the popularity and very well be part of what we're seeing here and the rhetoric of the campaign is one of retribution, revenge, framing himself as a victim and the segment of the base that sticks by him no matter what and that's part of hearing elizabeth speak to that and his campaign is undoubt lily going to take advantage -- undoubtedly going to take advantage of that. >> respond together indictment trying not to alienate trump's base. how are they responding to all this? >> looking at recent polling across the board, president trump outperformed each and every one of the gop competitors and, yes, this forces them to address president trump. so far we've seen more

candidates speak out and point fingers of blame at the justice system rather than at trump himself for these alleged actions and we've seen one candidate pledge to pardon trump if he's elected and really reflective of the state's race and these candidate cans not afford to alienate the trump supporters and trying to win them over later on and try to chart a path to the nomination. >> kate shaw, the former president is out there speaking frequently about the indictment and making accusations and could prosecutors continue to use his own words against him in the case? >> jack smith is the special council and team of prosecutors watching for president trump and candidate trump on the campaign trail very, very closely and one of the thins most striking in the very striking document is the indictment was how central the former president's own words were in the charging document. you have some of former

president trump's conversations with aids in -- as recorded in text messages and actual recordings, but you had public statements including back in 2016 on the campaign trail and from the white house essentially trump acknowledging the importance of safeguarding information and talking about presidential can dates and that's -- candidates and that's central to the document and the extent that former president trump talks on the trail about these charges and talking about that and they will and saying that in a political register, could be problematic in court if he take as position that i did this and had these documents but u had the right as former president to do that. that could resinate with voters and could be problematic with the court of law. >> timing is critical ahead of the 2024 election and how quickly can the doj and court move in this case? >> typically a case like this would take probably a couple of

years between the original indictment and trial and resolution. of course that would mean no final resolution till after 2024 presidential election. so i imagine the special council and his team will be trying, you know, to the extent possible to move things along expeditiously and this is a court that this florida trial court with a reputation as a so called rocket docket court to move things along quickly and if the judge is willing to accelerate proceedings, that could mean we could see things happen on faster than ordinary track. of course the defendant, former president trump is going to do everything possible to delay the final resolution i imagine. a lot will be on how interested the judge is in moving things along swiftly and in a related case involving the documents was sympathetic to trump's argument against the fbi search in the first place. there was reason for the justice department to be concerned and they're going to try and move things quickly.
