Manhattan DA's Trump indictment faces political backlash

TL;DR Summary
Some Democrats fear that former President Trump's first big legal test, an indictment over an alleged campaign finance violation, could be a political loser for them and undermine more significant cases against him. The case against Trump is seen as an "open-and-shut, books-and-records misdemeanor" by some legal experts, but Democrats worry that if Trump beats the charges, it could make it easier for his team to cast any future charges as a "witch hunt." Trump is facing criminal investigations in Georgia and by a special counsel for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
