| 0:00.0 | It's Thursday, August 3, 2023. I'm Albert Mueller, and this is The Briefing, a daily |
| 0:10.8 | analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. Throughout our long national history, |
| 0:16.1 | the United States has faced crises, controversies, trials, and even wars. But right now, the United |
| 0:23.0 | States is entering its indeed pushing far into uncharted territory. By uncharted territory, |
| 0:29.3 | I refer to the criminal prosecution of a former president of the United States. We need to note |
| 0:34.5 | that in our history, such a move has been contemplated before, but it had never happened. But now it has. |
| 0:40.4 | Former president Donald J. Trump has already been indicted on multiple criminal counts. First of all, |
| 0:45.9 | in New York, where New York's district attorney, Alvin Bragg, has filed criminal charges against |
| 0:51.7 | the president, grand juries handed down an indictment on issues related to so-called payoffs to |
| 0:57.9 | porn star stormy Daniels. But then, special counsel Jack Smith sought and obtained an indictment |
| 1:04.9 | against the former president by a grand jury, a federal grand jury, a case that is located in Florida. |
| 1:11.9 | That indictment had to do with the national security documents controversy. But then on Tuesday of |
| 1:19.3 | this week, a grand jury in the District of Columbia, another federal grand jury, handed down an indictment, |
| 1:25.7 | one sought by the very same special counsel Jack Smith. And this has to do with the events of |
| 1:31.6 | January the 6th and with the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. In this case, Jack Smith |
| 1:39.0 | sought and obtained an indictment against the former president on one count of obstruction and |
| 1:44.3 | three counts of criminal conspiracy. At just about the same time, a state prosecutor in Atlanta, |
| 1:50.7 | Georgia, indicated that she would likely be asking for an indictment and presenting the evidence |
| 1:56.3 | to a grand jury there in Atlanta on state charges of interference with the 2020 presidential election. |
| 2:03.7 | There. Well, you put all that together and that means that within about 30 days or so, |
| 2:08.6 | the likelihood is that the immediate former president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, |
| 2:14.0 | is going to be faced with multiple indictments at the state, at the local and at the national level. |
