βThe United States of America v. Donald J. Trumpβ instantly became one of the most consequential documents in American history.
Tuesdayβs 45-page indictment took the country to an unprecedented, profound and even tragic place.
For the first time, America is set to put on trial a former president for trying to destroy its democratic system because, as the indictment put it, βhe was determined to remain in powerβ despite having lost an election. And heβs not just any former president β Trumpβs the front-runner for the GOP nomination, whom polling shows is closely matched with President Joe Biden in a hypothetical rematch.
