And good morning to you. It is Saturday, August the 19th. I'm Ali Velshi.

The criminal indictment of a former president was once an unthinkable possibility.

But we have now crossed that threshold four times in the last five months.

Late next week, Donald Trump is expected to turn himself into law enforcement officers in

Fulton County, Georgia, where he is charged by the district attorney, Fannie Willis,

with 13 criminal counts stemming from his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020

presidential election.

Unlike his three previous indictments, this time, the former

president will have to make a trip to a jail where he will be booked ahead of his arraignment,

which is scheduled for the week of September 5th. Trump is now facing a total of 91 criminal charges

in four separate cases across different jurisdictions. Yet four criminal

indictments and the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison has not humbled

the former president in the least. He remains unrepentant and unapologetic for his actions,

and if anything, he's grown more defiant. Nearly three years later, he still denies the results of the

2020 presidential election, even though he hasn't offered up a shred of proof of the sort that

has been able to withstand the slightest scrutiny. On top of that, he continues to attack anyone

remotely connected to the cases against him, except the one judge that he appointed, who will

oversee the Mar-a-Lago documents case, despite receiving multiple warnings from judges to refrain from

doing so. His relentless smear campaign is creating a tense atmosphere as his criminal

prosecutions and the 2024 presidential race get underway.

Recently, a woman was arrested and charged for making a death threat against Tanya

Chutkin, the judge assigned to the federal election interference case.
