This tactic of the former White House owner is said to have been effective. The most recent Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that 81% of Republicans believe the charges against Mr Trump are politically motivated. President Joe Biden's administration has affirmed that it will not interfere with the independent investigation by the Justice Department.
