Well?
He’s one Republicans that ain’t holding back at dcalling out ex-President Republican Donald Trump for his actions that have earned him criminal charges with more to come…..

He also faces two other indictments: one for falsifying business records related to a hush money payment he made to an adult film star and his handling of classified documents after he left the White House. He has pleaded not guilty to more than 70 counts.
Christie last week pushed back on Trump’s claims that the classified documents indictment was politically motivated, calling him “a liar and a coward.”
“He’s not getting indicted for anyone other than because of his own conduct,” he said Sunday in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper….
