This is another day of challenge for our democracy

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Asa for America campaign released the following statement this evening in regard to the fourth indictment of Donald Trump. This statement can be attributed to Governor Asa Hutchinson:

"This is another day of challenge for our democracy with the indictment handed down by the grand jury in Georgia. As a former federal prosecutor, I have personally pursued racketeering charges in federal court against terrorist organizations, and I understand the difficulty of a multi-defendant indictment and how slow the case will proceed in state court. Regardless of the specifics of the Georgia indictment, I expect the voters will make the ultimate decision on the future of our democracy. Over a year ago, I said that Donald Trump's actions disqualified him from ever serving as President again. Those words are more true today than ever before. I will have additional comments after I review the details of the indictment," — Gov. Asa Hutchinson, the 46th Governor of Arkansas and a current Republican candidate for President
