While there is widespread distrust of the Justice Department and its pursuit of him on charges that he illegally stored classified documents and tried to hide them from federal officials, some voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina say Trump has become too damaged to be nominated by his party a third time.
"If you dig a hole and then you have to climb out, it's going to be harder to do," Evenhouse said. "And that's where I think he is."
"Right now I am a Trump supporter," said 76-year-old Karen Szelest of Indian Land, South Carolina. "However, I think they're doing everything they can to have him not run for president of the United States. And I think perhaps, for the betterment of the country, I may vote for somebody else because they keep going after Trump, going after Trump, going after Trump."
Some of the roughly 20 early-state voters interviewed this past week spent most of the time railing against what they see as that department's political agenda. That mirrors a persistent split across party lines in how the case is viewed. An ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted last weekend found that Americans were more likely to say Trump should be charged in the documents case than those who say he should not, 48 per cent to 35 per cent. At the same time, 47 per cent of adults believe the charges are politically motivated, compared with 37 per cent who say they are not.
Charges that she mishandled classified documents weren't pursued by the Justice Department, in part because relevant Espionage Act cases brought over the past century involved alleged efforts to obstruct justice and willful mishandling of classified information. Those factors were not at play in her case, investigators concluded.
