(The Hill<\/a>) — Republican aides and strategists privately expect Attorney General Merrick Garland to pursue an indictment of former President Donald Trump within 60 to 90 days after Election Day, predicting the window for prosecuting Trump will close once the 2024 presidential campaign gains momentum. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Republican aides on Capitol Hill and veteran party strategists emphasize they don\u2019t have any inside information on what Garland might do, but they say the attorney general is under heavy pressure from Democrats to act and the deadline for pursuing an indictment is fast approaching.<\/p>\n

GOP aides also warn that an indictment of Trump by the Biden administration would further polarize the nation and likely strengthen Trump\u2019s support from the Republican Party\u2019s base as the former president and his allies would frame the Department of Justice\u2019s prosecution as a political witch hunt. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of weeks after the election, I assume that Garland will indict Trump,\u201d said one veteran Republican aide, expressing a sentiment shared by several other GOP aides and strategists. \u00a0<\/p>\n

A second Republican aide warned an indictment \u201ccould actually end up helping the [former] president politically.\u201d  <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have been talking about splintering support and dampening enthusiasm among Republican voters for him. An indictment could actually galvanize and reunify Republicans around him,\u201d the aide said, predicting the Republican backlash to an indictment would be stronger if Garland brings an indictment later in the 2024 election cycle.  <\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a substantial risk in waiting,\u201d the source added.  <\/p>\n
