House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that he will look at the charges before determining if he thinks Santos should be removed from Congress. Top Democrats, joined by some New York Republicans, have been calling on Santos to resign over allegations ranging from criminal behavior on the campaign trail to petty personal dishonesty stretching back more than a decade.

This story has been updated with additional details from the town hall. Wednesday's live town hall audience will be made up of Republicans and undeclared voters who plan to vote in the GOP primary. This is Trump's third trip to the Granite State since launching his campaign last fall. And his advisers acknowledge he still has work to do to engage with Republican voters outside of his loyal base of supporters, multiple sources told CNN. Many of Trump's handpicked candidates who embraced his election lies in swing states lost in last year's midterm elections. There have been warning signs for the GOP that the obsession with the 2020 election isn't palatable beyond the base. He lost that 2020 race by about 7 million votes, although he continues to falsely claim it was stolen from him. He's surrounded himself with a more organized team and has been making smaller retail politics stops while scaling back larger rallies - signs of a more traditional campaign than his 20 operations. Trump's participation in the town hall is indicative of a broader campaign strategy to try to expand his appeal beyond conservative media viewers, CNN's Kristen Holmes reported earlier Wednesday. In a Washington Post/ABC News poll released Sunday, 43% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents named Trump unprompted when asked who they would like to see the party nominate in 2024, compared with 20% naming DeSantis, and 2% or less naming any other candidate. Ron DeSantis, has not yet officially launched a bid - Trump has maintained a healthy lead in early GOP primary polling.

Nearly 70% of Republican primary voters in a recent NBC News poll said investigations into the former president "are politically motivated" and that "no other candidate is like him, we must support him." That's a view many GOP voters share, according to recent surveys. Still, the twice-impeached former president has repeatedly said that any charges will not stop him from running for president, dismissing all of the investigations as politically motivated witch hunts. Trump also faces potential legal peril in both Washington, DC - where a special counsel is leading a pair of investigations - and in Georgia, where the Fulton County district attorney plans to announce charges this summer from the investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the Peach State. Last month in New York, he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Trump has denied all wrongdoing and called the verdict in the civil case a "total disgrace."

New Hampshire, home to the first-in-the-nation GOP primary, is also home to many swing voters. It comes as unprecedented legal clouds hang over him and as he seeks to become only the second commander in chief ever elected to two nonconsecutive terms. Trump is taking questions from New Hampshire Republicans and undeclared voters in the town hall - his first appearance on CNN since 2016. But the former president continued to repeat his lies about the 2020 contest. Trump was pressed by "CNN This Morning" anchor Kaitlan Collins, who is moderating the town hall at Saint Anselm College, to acknowledge that his own officials said he lost the election.
