This is on point. I'm Anthony Brooks in for Magna Chakra Party. For the first time ever,

a former American president is facing criminal indictment. Manhattan District Attorney

Alvin Bragg has been investigating Donald Trump over an alleged hush money payment to adult

film star Stormy Daniels, and he appears to be close to charging the former president.

Republicans have come to Trump's defense, here's Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan,

who says the prosecution by District Attorney Bragg a Democrat is political.

Even Alvin Bragg wouldn't bring it a year ago, and he didn't decide to bring it until

President Trump announced his running for president. And then, oh, now we're going to go after

the leading guy, the guy who's winning it, winning in the polls, leading in the polls.

Now we're going to go after him because the lep says I should. That is selective prosecution

and the country understands that. Jordan and other House Republicans have demanded that Bragg

turn over his records to them. Bragg's office shot back, calling that demand an unprecedented

and unlawful interference into a state investigation. In addition to a likely indictment in New

York, Trump is under investigation in Fulton County, Georgia, for possible election interference.

He also faces two federal investigations. One of them looking into his alleged attempts to

warrant the peaceful transfer of power after he lost the 2020 election. The other, into his

possession of classified documents and other presidential material after he left the White House.

Trump is urging his supporters to protest should he be indicted and says he'll stay in the 2024

presidential race no matter what. So what do we know about Trump's potential indictment so far?

And what legal and political implications would the indictment of a former president have?
