Donald Trump has become the first former U.S. president to be charged with a crime. Here’s what to know about the indictment and the case.
Former President Donald Trump speaks with reporters while in flight on his plane after a campaign rally at Waco Regional Airport, in Waco, Texas, March 25, 2023, while en route to West Palm Beach, Fla.
He will have to contend with a criminal case while running again for the White House, taking time and attention away from the campaign trail — though neither the case nor a conviction would preclude him from seeking or winning the presidency in 2024. Trump did not repeat his call to protest Thursday, but police forces around the country are on guard for potential unrest.Beyond the Manhattan case, Trump is facing an array of other investigations.
Some Republican and independent voters could see the case, at the very least, as another example of problematic baggage that has followed Trump for years and has been a distraction. The news was expected to only fortify existing Democratic opposition to Trump.
