For the second time this year, Democrats find themselves in a complicated position: torn between celebrating a long-sought indictment of Donald J. Trump and proceeding with caution.
The party is in near-universal agreement that Mr. Trump should face federal charges for retaining classified documents and resisting investigators’ efforts to recover them.
When Mr. Trump was indicted in March, Mr. Bennett questioned whether the offenses the former president had been accused of were worth the political risk of an indictment.
This time, Mr. Bennett said, he has no doubts about the indictment’s necessity.
Already, many leading Republicans have rallied around Mr. Trump; some have gone so far as to suggest outright war.
