Trump Faces the Most Extraordinary Ordinary Prosecution Ever
What may prove to be the trial of the century is off and running.
Courtroom proceedings in the trial of Donald J. Trump began in Miami today with the former president’s first appearance before a federal judge to stand trial for 37 felonies—related to his alleged unlawful removal of dozens of classified documents and his alleged obstruction of the investigation of that removal.
It will be one of the most important court cases in our nation’s history. It’s the first federal criminal prosecution of a former president and, depending on how the pending Manhattan prosecution concludes, potentially the first criminal trial of an ex-president.
