Hello and welcome to another breaking news episode of prosecuting Donald Trump.

We are here because for the second time in history, in this country, the former president

of the United States has been charged with crimes this time, federal crimes.

A grand jury in Miami charged Trump with seven criminal charges in special counsel

Jackson Smith's documents investigation.

Trump has said that he is innocent and he is now in the legal system, presumed to be innocent,

stating that the government bears the responsibility that it welcomes to prove the case beyond

a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury.

If it can't do that, then the defendant is acquitted.

So with that, Mary, welcome.

Good to be here.

Andrew, this is sort of the day that I think we've been building up to for some time and

it's time to kind of take a reflective look at what's happening and how we got here and

what this really means.

You know, as much as, Mary, we all knew this day was coming.

There was just no question given the reported facts that this was going to be a charged case

consistent with DOJ precedent.

It just would have been anathema to the will of law that weren't charged.

But there's something breathtaking about the actual fact when it happens.

And that's in spite of the fact that he's actually currently under indictment in state court

for 34 felony counts.

And yet still the news yesterday when it broke was still sort of awe inspiring.
