Of the R candidates,“The fact is that these facts are devastating,” Christie told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview on Friday.
Christie noted that the indictment accuses Trump of directing what documents were to be packed in boxes upon leaving the White House at the end of his presidency, that they should be sent to Mar-a-Lago and where they would be placed while they were at Mar-a-Lago.
He said Trump is also accused of directing the documents to be taken with him to his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., when he went there during the summer and continuing to “stonewall” investigators who were trying to get the documents returned to government recordkeepers.
“The bigger issue for our country is, is this the type of conduct that we want from someone who wants to be president of the United States?” Christie said.

He said the indictment is “very evidence-filled,” making clear the prosecutors have tape recordings, electronic text messages, emails and testimony of dozens of witnesses who have provided the information.
